Brief heavy downpours remain possible through early Tuesday evening. Showers will taper off by 8 p.m., and the rest of tonight appears quiet with mostly cloudy skies.

Wednesday will be partly sunny with highs in the mid 50s. Skies will clear Wednesday evening and night, making way for plenty of sunshine on Thursday. 

Highs will be in the upper 50s on Thursday and then we're near 60 on Friday.

Our next chance of rain will arrive over the weekend. The daytime hours of Saturday look mainly dry, and then rain returns Saturday night into Sunday.
