Much needed rain is on the way for Thursday night into early Friday. Some areas could see as much as an inch of rain, but most areas will end up in the quarter to half inch range.
Showers will taper off from west to east shortly after daybreak Friday, and then clouds clear during the afternoon. Highs on Friday will be in the mid 60s.
