Rainy Thursday night, milder weekend

Steady rain Thursday night through Friday morning. Temperatures stay above freezing, roads will be wet in the morning.

Showers start the day Friday, tapering off through the morning. The big story over the next seven days will be mild December weather. Highs in the mid-40s this weekend and staying above normal through much of next week. There are hints of a pattern change that could bring colder air and the possibility of a white Christmas but until then the forecast is snow-free.

Tonight: Rainy, low of 36.

Friday: Morning rain showers, mostly cloudy, high of 44.

Saturday: Partly cloudy, high of 45.

Sunday: Mostly sunny, high of 43.
