Keep those umbrellas, light sweaters, tank tops, and … well, just don’t put anything away yet as Mother Nature hasn’t quite made up her mind when fall will arrive in Oxford.

However, she has decided to give our area a good washing.

Rain is expected for most days over the next week, with a few hours of sunshine breaking through, according to the National Weather Service.

Today, the rain should continue until this afternoon and then taper off during the night with a high of 76 and a low of 65.

More rain is expected this weekend with a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms on Saturday after 1 p.m. with the high hitting 81 degrees. The chance for storms increases on Sunday with an 80 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms during the day with a high of 78 degrees.

Cooler temperatures are expected after a minor cold front moves in on Sunday making the expected high on Monday at 77 degrees with the low at night at 59 degrees.
