Starting Sunday morning, the National Weather Service warns of rain showers, with a 60% chance of precipitation expected between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. Locally heavy rainfall could lead to ponding on roadways, and drivers should stay cautious as conditions improve by midday. Winds from the northwest at 5-10 mph will help gradually clear the skies.
