Showers worked their way through this morning, with embedded bouts of moderate to heavy rain.

That said, the focus of the alert was during the morning commute, with the expectation that things would be a little slower on the roads.

Thankfully, the rain is starting to exit this afternoon, but don't expect the temperatures to recover — 70° if we're lucky.
