Precipitation from the storm system is now due to arrive late Friday morning, with periods of rain during the day, especially during the afternoon.
If the system doesn't stall, there will be a mix of clouds and sun during the day on Saturday, Nov. 26, with a high temperature in the low 50s.
A separate system will bring a new chance for showers overnight Saturday into Sunday, Nov. 27., which will be mostly cloudy with a high temperature in the mid 50s.
Showers will become likely during the day Sunday with pop-up showers possible until the early morning hours on Monday, Nov. 28, followed by clearing by daybreak, leading to a mostly sunny day Monday with a high temperature around 40 degrees.
