Tonight’s Forecast

Mostly cloudy skies with some light rain possible especially after midnight. Lows in the lower-mid 40s north to upper 40s-lower 50s in our southern counties. We have a cold front moving south into the state tonight. It will likely stall across the central part of the state tomorrow in an east to west fashion. This will create a temperature boundary across the region. Where you are in relation to the front on Tuesday will really decide how warm or cold you will be. Winds tonight will be variable at 5-10mph.

Question: What's the origin of ''It's raining cats and dogs''?

Answer: The most popular explanation seems to come from Northern European myths that symbolized cats with rain and dogs with wind. So heavy rains with strong winds were: "it's cats and dogs out there", which is better than hailing taxies.
