When night falls, the skies will remain mostly clear, ushering in a low around 38 degrees. Although the south wind is predicted to be around 6 mph, it will shift to the east-southeast post-midnight, an unexpected but subtle twist in pattern yet consistent with the season's whimsy. Monday promises more sunlight and warmth, with the thermometer poised to climb near 61 degrees. The light breeze will swing from the east-southeast to the southwest as the day continues.

Midweek shifts subtly bring rain into the equation, with a 20 percent chance of showers after noon on Wednesday and highs hovering near 59 degrees. The likelihood of rain increases into Thursday, featuring a mix of rain and potential snow in the afternoon. Rain before 3 pm, then rain, possibly mixed with snow, reads the report from National Weather Service, indicating a dramatic shift as the week progresses.
