Tuesday is expected to mirror Monday's weather pattern, with high pressure positioned offshore to the east and a weak disturbance overhead. Fog and low clouds will be around in the morning, seeing more sunshine by the afternoon. Temperatures will be in the upper 40s and low 50s.
The second half of the week will feature our next rain chances. Rain is expected to arrive Wednesday PM and will become more steady into early Thursday. Southwest winds will usher in warmer, spring like temperatures along with increased moisture. This system is still a bit uncertain, but as of now, it looks like most of the region gets in on 0.5” to 2” of rain, the higher end of this range will likely be west of the I-91 corridor. The wind will not be getting too intense, but it will be breezy.
