Warmer midweek, along with a Wednesday night soaker

After a cold start to the week, warmer air is moving in. Highs returned to the 40s today, and we have 50s on the way the next two days.

Skies will be mostly cloudy on Wednesday, but it is safe to leave the umbrella at home as rain does not arrive until tomorrow night.

Right now timing brings a strong front through between 8pm and 2am, with the heaviest rain between 10p and 1am. Some rumbles of thunder and high wind gusts are possible as well.

The storm is long gone by the Thursday morning commute, but there will be a good deal of fog around which may slow things down. Skies will slowly begin to clear Thursday afternoon.

Temperatures will begin to cool down as we head into Friday and the weekend, with blustery conditions as well. Daytime highs will top out only in the low 40s, feeling a little colder with wind.

Saturday evening marks our last sunset in the 5 o’clock hour until mid-October, as Daylight Saving Time begins at 2am. We will promptly ‘spring ahead’ to 3am.

So, a little less sleep for some, but a sunset close to 7pm come Sunday evening!
