The stretch of sunny days has ended just in time for the weekend. Although there are plenty of activities and events this weekend, we still need the rain as much of the state is still under a drought.

Some areas will have some heavy rainfall on Saturday. If you’re planning to attend an outdoor event, be sure to check to be sure events haven’t been canceled or rescheduled.

Temperatures will also be slightly cooler than the past few days. It’s going to be a cool rain with plenty of wind with some areas having gusts up to 25 miles per hour.

Rain will continue for many of us into the evening and end overnight for most of us.
