After a few nice days, damp and dreary conditions are going to head back into the region.

Starting Wednesday, there will be several days ahead when you'll need that umbrella to be by your side. Clouds thicken up overnight and will be around for the Wednesday morning rush. Showers arrive in the afternoon hours, scattered across the region but will eventually move across the entire area by nightfall. On-and-off shower chances will linger into Thursday but at least the temperatures will be trending mild.

Friday will see more sunny breaks but shower chances will still be around. All the moisture around will make it feel a touch sticky, especially in the afternoon hours. Saturday has a solid chance of seeing widespread rain, falling at a moderate pace, through the day. It will not be the greatest day for outdoor plans at all. But Sunday will be a nicer day to be out and about.

OVERNIGHT: Increasing clouds to cloudy skies and mild feeling in the air. Lows: Mid- to upper 50s.

THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy with a chance of rain. Highs: Upper 60s. Lows: Mid-50s.
