As the rain tapers off, temperatures are expected to stay in the low to mid-50s throughout the day, giving residents a brisk reminder of autumn’s approach. Overcast skies will persist, and temperatures tonight will dip even further, reaching lows around 47 degrees, so residents should plan for extra layers if venturing outside tonight.
According to the National Weather Service, conditions will clear up later, with sunshine returning by Monday.
