Temperatures today struggled to even break the mid-50s, and over an inch of rain has fallen in some spots so far. Showers will dwindle overnight Friday into Saturday, and some partial clearing will occur by sunrise. Overnight, if enough a break in the clouds occurs, and if you're in a dark spot in our northern counties, you may be able to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights. The NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center issued a Severe (G4) Geomagnetic Storm Watch — the first since January 2005. Several strong earth-directed flares were detected and could reach Earth by Friday night.
Clouds will fill back in during the late morning. Showers will begin by noon, and some heavier bouts of rain are possible through the afternoon, evening, and overnight into Mother's Day Sunday. Showers will continue through the first half of Mother's Day, and will slowly taper off into the late afternoon, maybe even gracing our mother's with some well deserved peeks of sunshine. Temperatures jump back to the 70s and sunshine will stick around for a majority of your Monday, before showers return Monday evening.
