"Scattered showers will be pretty much at any point today," Roman said, adding that rain could fall during both the morning and the evening commutes "Expect rain at anytime."

Parts of the area will see some dry time too, Roman said. However, some rain is expected to last into the overnight hours.

While the scattered rain will keep things damp, significant accumulation isn't expected, Roman said, with less than an inch of rain expected to fall in most parts.

Temperatures are expected to be in the upper 50s to mid 60s, forecast models showed.

According to the National Weather Service, showers could return Friday and Friday night.
