The hazardous weather doesn't come until tonight. And then, "Oh Baby!" It's going to rain and blow. There's going to be water, everywhere. But for this afternoon, there's only a chance of rain -- after 3 p.m. -- and the National Weather Service is forecasting a high temperature near 51 and a mild, east wind. But the fog should roll in tonight, when the temperature drops to about 40 degrees.With the fog will come rain -- sometimes heavy -- and possible flooding. In all, we can expect between 1 and 2 inches and, in some places, up to 4 inches. More fog and rain is expected for tomorrow when the temperature reaches the mid 50s. We'll also see a north wind up to 13 mph. About 2 inches are likely. The sun returns on Sunday, but expect cooler temperatures in the low 40s and gusty west winds up to 44 mph. Cold, but dry Sunday night, when the temperature drops to about 19 degrees. And another sunny day Monday, with a high temperature near 40 degrees.

The reason for so much flooding is the fact that the whole state is covered in asphalt, and I even hear that there is a group called 'Pave the Bay.'
This whole problem would be eliminated if every household were to place a rain barrel or two at the terminus of his downspouts. The collected water is most useful during the summer months for watering lawns and gardens, but even at this time of year it's convenient for giving a quick walkway washdown by dumping it over on dry days.
