The next few hours
Dry for the moment, with rain moving in this morning
It is 39° with a dew point of 35°, which is dry for this time of year. The sky is mostly cloudy. The air is close to calm.
The wind backs into the north around 1 AM, which is the turn that usually comes ahead of the change rather than after it. The first rain arrives between 10 AM and 11 AM, with the best chance of it around 3 AM. That leaves a usable window outdoors until about 10 AM, and it closes quickly after that.
Taller, warmer bars mean heavier rain. Dotted means no reading for that hour.

A long wet stretch ahead
Wet weather moves in around 10 AM. Total accumulation over the window comes to about 0.43 in.
