While the morning may feature only spotty activity, rain coverage is expected to increase significantly as the day progresses, making Monday the most impactful weather day of the week.
Periods of heavy rain are possible Monday afternoon and night, with some locations picking up over an inch of rainfall. Ponding on roadways and reduced visibility could create travel issues during the evening commute.
Conditions improve quickly Tuesday as the system exits, setting the stage for several days of sunshine and warming temperatures through the middle of the week.
