A storm system will bring showers to the state by Wednesday morning before becoming more steady by Wednesday night into Thursday morning.
By 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, temperatures will be in the low-40s for most. The next few days will see temperatures in the 40s, which is above normal for this time of year.
