The next few hours

It is 54° with a dew point of 39°, which is dry for this time of year. The sky is partly cloudy.
The wind backs into the southeast around 11 PM, which is the turn that usually comes ahead of the change rather than after it. The first rain arrives between 2 AM and 3 AM, with the best chance of it around 4 PM. That leaves a usable window outdoors until about 2 AM, and it closes quickly after that.
Taller, warmer bars mean heavier rain. Dotted means no reading for that hour.
