South to south east winds are ramping up Saturday night ahead of the storm making its way in.

The rain is expected to begin early Sunday morning and continue through Thursday night.

During this time temperatures will be remaining below normal.

Our first set of storms is expected to be Sunday through Monday.

Peak rainfall rates are generally expected to remain at or less than .50" an inch per hour but isolated thunderstorm potentials aren't out of the question.

Rainfall totals through this time are anticipated to be .50-1.50".

Snow levels will also be lowering at this time, with potentials to get down to 4500 ft.

Tuesday will be a transition day before the next wave of showers make their way in.
