FORECAST IN DETAIL

Even with yesterday’s highs into the upper 60s, you can sense the tide turning a bit more toward winter every day. Today has some of that winter gray and showers too, while tomorrow’s bright but a bit breezy. Friday’s the warmest of the forecast period, quickly followed by a rather chilly Saturday. And so the ebb and flow toward winter continues . ..

Today (Wednesday): We don’t have the chilly start we had yesterday, be we won’t warm up as much either. A slow-moving cold front provides mostly cloudy skies and some light showers this morning, with a few lingering showers possible during the afternoon into early evening. The clouds and showers should cap temperatures in the upper 50s to near 60, with skies trying to brighten a bit this afternoon, as winds increase to 10-15 mph from the northwest. Confidence: Medium-High

Tonight: The lingering shower threat should exit to the east-southeast by around 5-7 p.m., followed by clearing skies and a cold breeze from the northwest at 10-20 mph. Overnight lows drop down to the upper 30s to low 40s. Confidence: Medium-High
