Rain today, warmer tomorrow
UPDATED: Sunday, Feb. 15, 2026, 6:52 a.m.
Here’s what’s happening: Today’s rainfall could cause flooding along small streams and in areas with poor drainage. Most of the area is expected to get about an inch of rain before it ends tonight. After the storm passes, we should experience a warming trend in the coming week with temperatures above normal. What the rain doesn’t wash away, the warmer temperatures should melt any remaining snow.
Three-day forecast: Between three-quarters and an inch of rain will fall today. Look for a high of 46. Rain ending around 10 p.m. tonight, becoming foggy for much of the night, and a low of 38. Patchy fog on Monday, becoming sunny with a high of 58. Mostly clear Monday night with a low of 34. Tuesday will be partly sunny with a high of 63, and mostly cloudy overnight with a low of 45.
