DETAILED FORECAST

OVERNIGHT: Rain will taper off tonight, but as it does it may briefly transition to snow. Little to no accumulation is expected in areas where this develops. While drying out, flooding still remains a problem.

“Never drive through flooded roads. Six inches of water can stall a car, 1 foot of water can float a car and 2 feet of flowing water can sweep a car away,” Vrydaghs said. 

It may become difficult to see deeper spots especially at night. Overnight lows will fall to the lower 20s, so perhaps some slick spots could develop. Watch bridges and overpasses especially.
