Today's Forecast

• 57°
• 41°

Overall, a fast-moving weather pattern will continue for the next week. Clouds will return this evening, and some rain showers are likely after midnight. The showers may continue until just after dawn Thursday. It will be relatively mild tonight, with temperatures falling into the upper 30s to low 40s.

After a damp start, Thursday looks partly to mostly cloudy, breezy, and mild. Highs will be in the upper 40s to mid 50s depending on how much sunshine we see. Skies will briefly clear Thursday evening before clouds roll back in around midnight.

Some rain or mixed precipitation is likely late Thursday night. Any mixed rain/snow will quickly transition to rain showers by Friday morning. Friday looks damp with the chance of showers throughout the day. The trickiest part of Friday's forecast is the temperature. If the wind is out of the west-southwest, the temperature will jump into the 50s, if it stays out of the east-northeast, we'll see temps stuck in the low 40s. At this point, I think we'll briefly see the milder air - at least near the coast.

The wind will increase Friday night, and Saturday looks partly sunny, windy, and dry. Highs will be in the low 40s. Sunday should be dry, breezy, and cool.
