A soaking, cold rain falls area-wide through the afternoon with temperatures only in the 40s, about 20 degrees below average. Winds are from the east around 10 mph with some gusts to 20 mph. Confidence: Medium-High
Tonight: The commute home isn’t a fun one as rain continues. After dark, the rain does start to ease with just some lingering showers and drizzle in most spots after midnight. Skies are clearing and most spots are drying out by dawn. Storm total rainfall ranges from about 0.75 to 1.25 inches. Easterly winds switch to out of the northwest late, with occasional gusts over 15 mph. Confidence: Medium-High

Tomorrow (Tuesday): Clearing is rapid in the wake of Monday’s storm, with mostly sunny skies. Still, winds from the west and northwest, gusting over 30 mph, draw in rather chilly air. Highs only manage 50 to 55 degrees. Confidence: High
Tomorrow night: Clear skies and quite brisk. Lows range from the mid-30s in our colder areas to near 40 downtown. Factoring in the wind, still gusting over 20 mph, it feels below freezing at times. Hopefully, it is the last time this spring we have to think about wind chill. Confidence: High
The cold weather pattern fades Wednesday and Thursday as more seasonable conditions return. Amid mostly sunny skies, we reach the low 60s on Wednesday. A few more clouds on Thursday, with mid-60s for highs. The nights are chilly, with lows 40 to 45 on Wednesday and 45 to 50 on Thursday. Confidence: Medium-High
Friday looks like a terrific day, with partly to mostly sunny skies and highs near 70. A few clouds Friday night with lows near 50. Confidence: Medium-High
Warm weather returns for the weekend. We could be near 80 by Saturday, assuming a warm front near the area pushes to our north and sunshine breaks through. But if the front stalls, we could get stuck with more clouds and cooler highs closer to 70. After lows in the 50s Saturday night, Sunday’s a safer bet to eclipse 80, with partly to mostly sunny skies. Confidence: Medium
