Wednesday:

A weak wave on Wednesday could provide some light shower opportunities late in the day. Otherwise we are cloudy and mild with highs near 70.

Late week rain:

A more robust system coming in late week will bring showers and thunderstorms to the area starting Thursday afternoon and evening. Expect mild temperatures with highs near 70° for Thursday afternoon. Showers will likely continue into Friday for the morning hours, then sharply cooler with highs returning to the upper 50s to wrap up the work week
