The next few hours

The wind backs into the east-southeast around 8 AM, which is the turn that usually comes ahead of the change rather than after it. That leaves a usable window outdoors until about 9 AM, and it closes quickly after that.
Taller, warmer bars mean heavier rain. Dotted means no reading for that hour.
