Tonight: 100% chance of rain...SO, count on rain! Rain, combined with breezy winds, make for a blustery night....expect gust to 25mph. (yellow)

Cool unsettled weather will continue through Thursday, with the heaviest rain falling across the NE mountains and Northern Panhandle. Active weather will begin to decrease late Friday...setting things up for warmer and dryer weather through the weekend.
