There will be a small break before light-to-moderate rainfall comes all day Sunday through Monday morning, producing about 2 inches of rainfall.
"High temperatures are probably only going to be in the lower to mid 60s in most areas," meteorologist Dave Bruno said. "Instead of having valley temperatures in the 30s, and downtown temperatures in the lower to mid 40s. It's going to be quite a bit warmer with low temperatures at night in the mid 40s to lower 50s everywhere."
