It is 56° with a dew point of 45°, which is dry for this time of year. The sky is clear.
The wind backs into the south-southeast around 9 AM, which is the turn that usually comes ahead of the change rather than after it. The first rain arrives between 9 PM and 10 PM, with the best chance of it around 1 AM. That leaves a usable window outdoors until about 9 PM, and it closes quickly after that.
Taller, warmer bars mean heavier rain. Dotted means no reading for that hour.
