UPDATE: A mix of clouds and sunshine will dominate Friday, November 17, 2023, across the state, but residents should brace for incoming wet weather this weekend. Weather officials report that two low pressure systems are set to impact various regions, bringing rain and potential disruptions.
As we move into the weekend, expect showers to spread across much of the state. The National Weather Service warns that the rain may begin as early as Saturday morning and continue intermittently through Sunday. This shift in weather patterns could affect travel plans and outdoor activities, especially as Thanksgiving approaches.
The forecast indicates that while Friday will enjoy a brief respite with some sunshine, the clouds will thicken later in the day. By Saturday, areas in the northern and central parts of the state may experience heavy rainfall, with totals expected to reach up to 1 inch in some locations.
Residents are advised to stay updated on the latest weather reports, as conditions may rapidly change. With many people preparing for holiday travel, the timing of these low pressure systems poses a significant concern for those planning to hit the roads.
Officials emphasize the importance of being prepared for potential impacts on travel and outdoor plans this weekend. With Thanksgiving week fast approaching, now is the time to stay informed and adjust schedules as necessary.
As a reminder, significant rainfall can lead to localized flooding, so drivers and travelers should exercise caution and monitor road conditions closely.
Stay tuned for further updates as weather patterns develop, and prepare for a wet weekend ahead.
