Although a Hazardous Weather Outlook was announced for much of the region Wednesday night, declaring the probability of a two-day storm later this week, local residents should only worry about high winds and rain.

The National Weather Service is predicting that local residents can expect rain tomorrow, mainly before 5 p.m., with a high near 44. New rainfall amounts, according to the service, could be between 1 and 2 inches. 

On Thursday night, town residents can expect a chance of showers and patchy fog before 10 p.m. - Otherwise, it should be cloudy, with a low around 40.

Friday morning should bring more showers, mainly before 11 a.m., before clearing up, with an unseasonably warm daily high near 46. It is expected to be very windy, with gusts as high as 41 mph.

Friday night should be partly cloudy and windy, with a low around 34.

The passing of the Thursday/Friday storm will open up for a cold and clear Martin Luther King Day weekend. Sunday's high temperature could be as low as 25 degrees.
