The Hi-Res NAM model provides a good illustration, Saturday 6 pm – Sunday 6 am:

Sunday –  Rain Early; Cloudy; Colder; Flurries Late? – Morning Low 40 / Afternoon High 53

6a 41 . 9a 45 . 12p 50 . 3p 52 . 6p 44 . 9p 38

The rain from overnight Saturday will still be here in the morning, but on its way out. We are expecting all the rain to move out by mid-morning, if not sooner.

Official NWS forecast:
