Rain and storms will move east today, lasting into the overnight hours. There will be a chance for hit or miss rain in the Metro. Rain accumulation will be light in the lower elevations. Winds will be breezy, especially around the northern mountains, with gusts up to 40 mph. This, and dry air in that region, is prompting red flag warnings for high fire danger. Wildfires will be able to ignite and spread rapidly today around the northern mountains.
