FORECAST:

• Quiet weather remains as temperatures fall back into the low to mid-60s for highs.
• The heavy rain is expected to start after midnight and last through Saturday morning.
• We likely receive between 1 and 1.5 inches of rain in the metro, with higher amounts far west and south.
• Flooding is a risk, but for now, that risk is low. Flood watches are up just outside of our area to the southwest and may get expanded later today.
• Dry weather returns by Saturday evening and the rest of the weekend is expected to stay that way.
• As a matter of fact, we will likely remain dry all of next week as temperatures warm back to the 70s by Tuesday.
