This will have our rivers running at elevated levels and minor flooding could be possible. We don't expect anything major, but some low-lying spots could collect water through tonight.
We should start to dry out Wednesday evening and through the day on Thursday with temperatures a little warmer in the low 70s.
Unfortunately, the risk for rain will go back up by Friday and Saturday. How much rain and how widespread it could be is still uncertain with a large spread between the models. The European model favors another strong low with widespread rainfall Friday into Saturday.
A few showers may linger into Saturday but overall the Mother's Day weekend looks to be dry. Mother's Day itself looks warmer with highs in the mid 70s. There will be plenty of tweaks made to the forecast over the next several days so check back in for a forecast update or download the free NBC CT app and stay updated on the go.
