Express forecast Today: Partly sunny, a few showers/t’showers. Highs: Around 65-70.
Tonight: A few evening showers possible. Lows: 40s to near 50.
Tomorrow: Partly to mostly sunny, mild. Highs: Upper 60s to low 70s. Forecast in detail An active weather pattern prevails the next several days, other than a dry day tomorrow, with outdoor plans impacted at times through the weekend. The first shower chance comes later today, with a soaking rain possible Friday and more rain likely this weekend. As the rain makes a dent in our moderate drought, temperatures remain seasonably cool but fairly comfortable.
Today (Wednesday): A rather cool start this morning, rising from the 40s into the 50s with a brief sprinkle or light shower possible. Afternoon highs should top out around 65-70 with partly sunny skies and a breeze from the south around 10 mph. A few hit-or-miss showers or thundershowers could move through sometime after 2 p.m. or so. Confidence: Medium

A look ahead
A soaking rain seems like a good bet Friday morning into the evening, with an inch or more possible. Temperatures may end up stalling in the 50s to near 60 with the rain, overcast skies and cool breeze kicking up at times from the east and southeast. Confidence: Medium

Not much confidence this far out, but Sunday has a chance to start off mostly dry, with rain chances increasing again during the afternoon into evening. Highs should get to at least around 70 and maybe higher. Confidence: Low
