Warm Wednesday Gives Way To Night Rain

The latest outlook from the National Weather Service keeps Thursday warm near 82 degrees, with another chance of rain after morning fog. Thursday night brings a 40% rain chance and a slight possibility of thunderstorms after 1 a.m., making the late-week shift a sharper update to the earlier forecast covered by Hoodline.
Friday Brings The Wettest Window
