We will have a respite Today and Thursday from all of the rain of the last few days. We need a dry period after a solid 2 to 5 inches of rain fell over much of the area. Rivers and stream will remain elevated the remainder of the week and it will take into the weekend for some rivers to finally reach crest. Weak high pressure will be responsible for our dry weather today and tomorrow. Rain returns to the forecast for Thursday night and Friday as a low pressure system approaches from the west. The rain may persist into Saturday. High temperatures are expected to be below normal right through the weekend with around 50 for highs today and tomorrow, cooling into the 40s for the weekend.
