Today’s Weather: A Mild Start with Light Winds
Today will be partly sunny with a high near 52 degrees. The wind will be light and variable, so you can expect calm conditions throughout the day.

Winds will come from the southeast at 7 to 10 mph, shifting to the south after midnight. Gusts could reach up to 20 mph, so it’s wise to secure any loose outdoor items. The expected precipitation amounts are light, less than a tenth of an inch, but enough to make roads slick in some areas.
Thursday Brings Rain and Stronger Winds
Rain will increase on Thursday, especially after 2 p.m., with an 80% chance of precipitation. The high temperature will rise to near 64 degrees, making it one of the warmer days this week.
