Expect several hours of steady rain today as a tropical rainstorm from the remnants of Hurricane Zeta makes its way through the area.

Radar shows the bulk of the rain is currently to the west of Farmville but is expected to be in the area by 8:30 a.m. and continue for most of the day. The area is expected to receive close to an inch of rain before the system moves out later tonight. A flood watch is in effect for the area until 8 p.m.

Temperatures today are expected to reach a high of 74 degrees before falling to a low of 49 tonight.
