Though we lost about 10 degrees from yesterday this afternoon and saw a few clouds from time to time, today has ended up another pleasant one for this time of year. High temperatures have risen to levels quite close to average, mainly in the upper 50s to near 60. Unfortunately for nice weather fans, clear skies will be waning as clouds return for the next several days.

Through Tonight: A continued flow off the ocean and clouds arriving from the west will lead to partly cloudy skies early and trending cloudier as the night wears on. Lows will fall to around 40 in the suburbs and into the mid 40s in the city.

Tomorrow (Wednesday): The onshore flow and increased cloudiness from the west should combine to make for a pretty gray day on Wednesday. There could be some sunshine early, but I'm not overly confident about that. At least it will stay dry! Temperatures should reach the mid-and-upper 50s. A light east wind will blow around 5-10 mph.
