This evening we will be tracking our next best chance for rain as a low pressure makes its way into our neighborhoods as early as 7 PM tonight.

This rain will become much more uniform by the 11 PM hour and continue throughout the overnight hours and into tomorrow in the early afternoon hours.

Our neighborhoods could see half an inch of rain or more with this system as it tracks through.
