After three weeks mainly dry weather, Western New York will finally see some substantial rainfall.
A low-pressure system with an associated front will move across the area on Monday.
The probability of rain will increase later Sunday with a nearly 100 percent chance of rain to start the work week. Once the rain tapers to showers and comes to an end Monday evening, much of the area should measure between .75 to 1.25 inches of beneficial rain.
