According to the latest update, today's weather offers no respite from the showers, with rain before noon followed by a likely resurgence post-1 p.m. Winds, initially from the east-northeast at 11 to 21 mph, are predicted to shift southwards, accompanying the rain and potentially reaching gusts of up to 24 mph.

A mostly cloudy night with a stubborn low of around 44 degrees and persistent south winds at 18 to 21 mph, gusting as high as 24 mph keeps the city damp. The expected new precipitation amounts will be less than a tenth of an inch.
As Saturday rolls in, the rain plans to make an encore, mainly after 10 a.m., with a high temperature reaching 50 degrees, as detailed by the National Weather Service.
