We are tracking an area of low pressure from the Gulf of Mexico that will head our way later this weekend bringing us some rainfall. Right now Saturday should be dry with clouds thickening up. Looks like showers will primarily arrive sometime Sunday evening with widespread rain building in overnight (into Halloween morning).
