Afternoon Showers and Windy Conditions

This afternoon, showers are likely mainly between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m., with a 60% chance of rain. The sky will remain mostly cloudy, and temperatures will reach near 67 degrees Fahrenheit. South winds will blow around 14 mph, with gusts up to 26 mph, which may make it feel cooler than the actual temperature.

New precipitation amounts will be light, less than a tenth of an inch, but enough to require an umbrella or rain jacket if you plan to be outside. The wind may also make it feel breezier, so layering is a good idea.

Evening and Overnight Weather

Tonight will stay mostly cloudy with a low around 49 degrees. Winds will calm down to 6 to 9 mph from the south. This means the evening will be cool but not cold, suitable for outdoor activities with a light jacket.

Wednesday’s Rain and Thunderstorms

Wednesday brings a chance of showers before 2 p.m., followed by a chance of showers and thunderstorms between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. After 5 p.m., showers will likely continue, with possible thunderstorms. The high temperature will be near 63 degrees, with east winds at 3 to 6 mph.

Rainfall amounts could range between a tenth and a quarter of an inch, but thunderstorms may bring higher amounts. If you have plans in the afternoon or evening, keep an eye on weather updates and be ready for sudden changes.

Wednesday Night Heavy Rain

Showers and possibly thunderstorms will continue into Wednesday night, with a low around 42 degrees. Winds will shift from southeast to southwest at about 6 mph. The chance of precipitation is 100%, with new rainfall amounts between a half and three-quarters of an inch possible.

This heavier rain may cause minor flooding in low-lying areas, so avoid walking or driving through flooded streets. It’s a good night to stay indoors and let the storm pass.
