/1 Comment/by

A broad wave of low pressure, along a frontal boundary to the south, has caused rain to fall moderately at times overnight and early this morning.

Skies will continue to remain mostly cloudy this afternoon.  Some more widely scattered showers and areas of fog or drizzle are possible, with a couple more weak disturbances and the right-entrance region of upper-level jet streak coming behind this initial low pressure.
