Wednesday Night: Mostly cloudy and mild. Low: 49.

The evening commute looks mainly dry. On average this time of year we should be in the low 50s but highs today will make it into the upper 50s and low 60s. A few peeks of sunshine will be possible for some later today. Soak it up while you can because more wet weather is on the way.
Thursday will be mostly cloudy and a touch breezy early on. By the afternoon clouds will try to break up but won't have enough time to clear before more rain develops. Scattered showers move in Thursday night and will carry over into Friday.
