A hard rain's a-gonna fall. Rain and a few thunderstorms will dominate the weather today and highs will reach the lower 50s, still pretty mild for this time of year. There's lots of fog out there and with the ground soaked from melted snow, some flooding as well, so be careful. With this gloomy weather, we'll bid adieu of the unseasonable warmth that's brought smiles to our faces this week. It's back to "snow" after today. Sigh. Tonight, the rain tapers off and leaves us with mostly cloudy skies and lows will drop to the upper 20's, meaning any leftover rain will most likely turn to flurries. And now we gird ourselves for the final two-month stretch until spring...
