Not the brightest day today, but we do see the bulk of the rain hold off until after 5PM or so this evening. There will be lots of clouds and a few passing showers today, but it does not look like a washout. This is good news for the Danbury St. Patrick's Day Parade which kicks off at 2PM.

3PM future Radar shown below. Note Northern and Eastern CT have a better chance at steadier activity today. Heavier rain overtakes the region this evening and lasts through Monday morning. Models are fairly bullish on rain totals - 0.75 to 1.50 inches or rain expected.
