.NOW...
SCATTERED AREAS OF VERY LIGHT RAIN WILL CONTINUE OVER THE AREA
THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON. RAINFALL TOTALS WILL RANGE FROM A TRACE TO
LESS THAN ONE TENTH OF AN INCH BY 5 PM. MOST WILL NOT RECEIVE
MEASURABLE RAINFALL.

Looks like holding a newspaper over your head
might do the trick, there, Stooge!

Just looks like rain.

Very strong low level shear profiles combined with a diffluent flow aloft which made me fear for some possible thunderstomr development, but models depicted a thermal trough over the vicinity with a very weak southern stream and thus with the split flow winds aloft are very weak. Moderate-strong UVV will bring the rainfall but not sustain updrafts with lack of vertical shear so any cells that due form(big IF they form) they will be short lived as rain falls into the updraft and destroying it.
