The next few hours
Dry for the moment, with rain moving in this morning
It is 44°, but the wind is taking it down to 40° on exposed skin. The sky is mostly cloudy.
The wind backs into the north-northeast around 1 AM, which is the turn that usually comes ahead of the change rather than after it. The first rain arrives between 11 AM and noon, with the best chance of it around 6 AM. That leaves a usable window outdoors until about 11 AM, and it closes quickly after that.
Taller, warmer bars mean heavier rain. Dotted means no reading for that hour.
