This afternoon, scattered sprinkles will appear between 3pm and 4pm. After 4pm, showers become more likely, still with some scattered sprinkles mixed in. The sky will remain mostly cloudy, and temperatures will reach a high near 70°F. A southwest wind will blow at around 9 mph, adding a slight breeze to the damp conditions.

The high temperature will be near 49°F, cooler than today, with a northwest wind blowing at 8 to 10 mph. This shift in wind direction often brings drier air, which helps clear the skies.

The gradual clearing on Saturday and the partly sunny day on Thursday provide good opportunities to get outside.

If you have outdoor events or errands, try to schedule them during the drier parts of the day, such as Saturday afternoon or Thursday. For those who enjoy gardening or walking, the breaks in rain will be welcome. Remember to dress in layers to adjust to the temperature swings from chilly mornings and nights to warmer afternoons.

Staying informed about the weather helps you avoid surprises and make the most of your week. Check local updates regularly, as conditions can shift, especially with scattered showers in the forecast.
