The next few hours
Dry for the moment, with rain moving in this evening
It is 46°, but the wind is taking it down to 43° on exposed skin. The sky is clear.
The wind backs into the south-southwest around 10 PM, which is the turn that usually comes ahead of the change rather than after it. The first rain arrives between 5 PM and 6 PM. That leaves a usable window outdoors until about 5 PM, and it closes quickly after that.
Taller, warmer bars mean heavier rain. Dotted means no reading for that hour.
