NEW YORK -- CBS2 has been advertising a washout of a weekend, and, spoiler alert, it hasn't changed! The second round of heavier bouts of rain were swinging through the area on Sunday evening.

An initial wave of rain with some embedded downpours and rumbles moved through from south to north through Sunday morning into the early afternoon. Temperatures were a bit milder, reaching the low 60s, but it didn't really matter. It was still a dreary day!

There was brief lull in the steadiest rain during the mid to late afternoon, but even during that time frame there was off and on showers and drizzle. Another wave of heavy rain rolled as we headed into the evening, along with some gusty thunderstorms (mainly to the south).

While the severe risk was low, it was not zero. Rain remained the main issue. With an already saturated ground, another expected 1 to 3 inches was expected to bring flooding concerns. As such, a Flood Watch continued for much of the area into Sunday night.

The last of the steadiest rain should be moving north of New York City shortly after midnight, with quick clearing overnight.

Monday will start off sunny, but clouds will quickly build again with a few spotty showers in the afternoon. The shower risk then continues each day right through Friday (yes, you read that right). While no day is a complete washout (other than Sunday, of course), it'll remain cool and unsettled for most of the week. So keep the umbrellas handy!
