Today brings a 40 percent chance of precipitation mainly after 2 pm, with the skies remaining mostly cloudy and highs near 64 degrees. The NWS forecasts a calm turn in the wind—initially from the south at 5 to 7 mph—perhaps offering a brief respite before possible afternoon rainfall, the NWS reports, advising locals to stay prepared for wet weather.
The chance of rain increases slightly to 50 percent tonight, with the bulk of it expected before 11 pm. As the south wind slows to a calm 6 mph before becoming calm. Wednesday's forecast appears marginally brighter, offering a 30 percent chance of rain but eventually yielding to mostly sunny skies and highs around 67. A light north-northwest wind at 3 to 7 mph might just provide enough of a push to clear up the clouds.
The remainder of the week follows a similar pattern of cloud cover and sporadic rain possibilities. Partly cloudy with lows around 55, the NWS outlines for Wednesday night. Thursday is expected to see partly sunny conditions and highs again approaching 67, with calm winds turning westerly around 6 mph by the afternoon. Rain chances creep back into the forecast Thursday night at 20 percent, persisting into early Friday, as detailed by NWS.
Friday should mostly stay dry with a 20 percent chance of rain ending by 11 am and a high near 65, but rain prospects increase come Saturday. The likelihood of needing rain protection jumps Saturday night with rain becoming likely after 11 pm. The pattern continues into Sunday, with a chance of rain through to Monday, maintaining mostly cloudy skies with peaks in the mid-60s.
