SPOTTY SHOWERS GRADUALLY END

Keep the umbrella and rain jacket handy. Clouds and spotty light rain and drizzle continue to linger this evening. Rain showers can even mix with a few snowflakes before ending tonight, with temperatures slowly dropping through the mid-30s this evening. There will not be any significant weather, but just enough rain to get the windshield wipers going at times and to keep the ground damp.
Any mixed rain and snow showers will end before midnight, with a clearing sky overnight. As clouds clear, temperatures will drop more easily to the overnight lows of close to 30 degrees into Tuesday morning. It will be a good idea to have a heavier coat.

PLANNING FOR THE REST OF THIS WEEK

After a nice and sunnier, but slightly chilly day on Tuesday, more clouds arrive Tuesday night into Wednesday. High temperatures will return to the upper 40s to mid-50s Wednesday through Friday. That will come with off and on, mostly light rain showers Thursday into Friday morning. That will be the next timeframe to have the rain gear on hand. That said, no major storms are expected for the rest of this week with a nice-looking weekend ahead.

POLLEN COUNTS ON THE RISE

Tree pollen will be nearing high levels for Tuesday. This is, of course, only the start of spring allergy season. If you typically suffer from allergies this time of year, there is a good chance you have been feeling it for a couple of weeks already now. The season always starts with tree pollen, followed by grass and weeds into late spring and summer.
