Rainfall totals will generally range between .25"-.5", much lower than what we received on Monday.
High temperatures on Friday will drop back to near seasonal averages in the 40s. Northwesterly winds will gust between 20-40 mph Friday afternoon, making it feel even cooler.

Our next storm will arrive Monday, there is a slight chance of a few wet flakes to the north at the start of this one but, in the end, it looks like another round of rain.
