The rain will be light to moderate at times, and amount to around a half of an inch regionwide.

Although the rain may disrupt daily commutes and such, it isn't expected to lead to any flooding. Instead, it will be very beneficial, given that a large portion of the Tri-State Area is currently in a moderate to severe drought.
