The first chances of rainfall will creep in Monday morning, said Weather Service meteorologist Brayden Murdock. “Then it starts becoming a bit more widespread as we head towards the evening,” he said. “Monday night going into Tuesday is probably going to be very consistent rain and some of our highest chances for the week.”
