A cold and damp start to the middle of the week is on the way. Rain moves in during later parts of the overnight and continues into the first parts of Wednesday.

This will taper off by mid-morning allowing for a drier afternoon that gradually clears to partly sunny skies.

Temperatures are in such a place that this precipitation is more than likely to be rain but could feature a few stray flakes.

It's cold, wet, but not windy. The one redeeming quality of this cold and wet Wednesday is that wind dies down and stays mostly mellow.

Temperatures will gradually climb to the higher 40s, and wind won't make it feel colder than what it is.

Temperatures will be similar through Thursday with a big climb Friday into the mid-50s. Rain returns for Friday potentially into early Saturday.

For the weekend, high temperatures will be in the lower 50s with lows in the higher 30s and lower 40s.

OVERNIGHT: Lows in the upper 30s. Late rain. Wind dies down.

WEDNESDAY: Highs in the higher 40s, lows in the higher 30s. Morning rain, partly sunny in the p.m.

THURSDAY: Highs in the higher 40s and lows in the lower 40s. Clouds with peeks of sun. Low rain chances overnight.

FRIDAY: Highs in the middle 50s, lows in the lower 40s. Sun and clouds with late p.m. rain.

WEEKEND: Low rain chances, mainly a combo of sun and clouds with highs in the low 50s.
