MWC Daily: April Showers Call for Rain Boots and Slickers

It's another dreary, rainy morning. But, today is not a total 'wash out.'

Meteorologist Rob Carolan says the rain will hang around for most of the morning, but this afternoon, we'll see a few breaks of sunshine. The North Country however, will see partly to mostly cloudy skies all day and the rain should end by noontime. Check your 5-day forecast.
