Forecasters are calling for mostly cloudy skies, with temperatures rising to near 80 degrees by 11 a.m., ahead of the cold front. Then daily temperatures are expected to sink to around 63 degrees for the rest of Tuesday.

At night, the outlook includes a 30 percent chance of showers as the low temperature drops to around 50 – with a wind chill of 45 degrees – before dawn Wednesday.

The effects of the cold front become the most apparent on Wednesday, when the chances of widespread rain climb to 50 percent, and daytime temperatures likely won’t get any warmer than 55 degrees.

Although north winds of 10 to 15 mph will intensify the chilly air, forecasters say rainfall will be minor, with less than a tenth of an inch possible.

The high rain chances persist Wednesday night, as temperatures slip to as low as 45 degrees.
