Forecasts provided by the National Weather Service indicate a menagerie of fog, clouds, and rain, with temperatures swinging from the low 40s to highs just breaching the 50-degree mark.

The fog rolled out today only to make way for partly sunny skies and a gentle southwest breeze, with temperatures peaking around 51 degrees. For tonight, mostly cloudy skies are expected with a low dipping around 41, while winds continue to swirl lightly from the southwest. However, the tranquility is short-lived as Wednesday plans to bring a 40 percent chance of rain after 1 pm, according to the National Weather Service.

Wednesday night's forecast is a 90 percent chance of rain and lows hovering in the mid-40s. The wet streak extends into Thursday, as rain is expected to persist throughout the day with highs barely reaching 50 degrees, along with a steady northeast wind chipping at the air.

The rain chances begin to taper off but do not quite disappear as we inch closer to the weekend. Thursday night will see a 50 percent chance of rain and cloudy skies with a low of around 39. Friday and the weekend are possible showers, as there's a persisting chance of rain on both days. Temperatures on Saturday will struggle to reach 40 degrees. On Sunday with mostly sunny skies forecasted and a high soaring near 41, ushering in the last days of the year under a partly cloudy veil.
