Winds are calm — east at 0 to 5 mph — so there's little warning before the sky changes. A quarter-inch of rainfall is possible, enough to slow traffic and slick the roads without causing flooding.If your commute falls between noon and three, build in extra time and keep something waterproof within reach — an umbrella, a light rain jacket, whatever works for you.Tonight, the storms ease off around 7 p.m., but patchy fog moves in overnight with a low near 66°F.

If you have outdoor plans this weekend, Sunday afternoon and Monday are both working against you. The good news?
