Rain should be gone by the morning commute on Tuesday, but it will stay cloudy for much of the Tri-State. From there, the rest of Tuesday will be a nice, but it will be breezy! Winds from the southwest at 15 to 25 mph will be with us through the middle of the day as clouds start to clear out a bit. Temperatures will be pleasant as they warm to 57 in the afternoon!
Wednesday is another mostly dry and mild day to start. We are back into the low 50s for the afternoon under a mostly cloudy sky. However, later in the afternoon and evening another storm system will move through the Tri-State bring us rain and a few embedded storms. Rain overnight into Thursday will be heaviest and that is when we will also be the warmest. Thursday will bring dropping temperatures as we get closer to normal for the weekend.
