A new area of low pressure will creep towards the region today, but the daytime hours at least should remain dry.

A deck of clouds high in the atmosphere will move in out ahead of the low. These clouds will be with us throughout the day but will be thin enough to allow some sunlight to shine through at times.

Late in the day, the clouds will get thicker as rain starts to approach the region. The first drips and drops will occur in the hours after sunset.

Steadier rain is likely after midnight and into early Tuesday morning. The rain should not be too heavy and nothing more than a stray rumble of thunder is expected.

Winds will be light today with speeds mostly under 5 mph. During the morning, winds will be from the northwest, but will then turn to the north, then east during the afternoon. Light east winds will persist into the evening and overnight.

High temperatures will be in the mid 70s today. It should not feel humid with dewpoints in the 50s, though the dewpoint will increase tonight.

Evening temperatures will settle in the mid 60s and overnight lows will make it down into the low 60s.

Here is a look at the weather for the next few days:

Tuesday: Morning rain tapering to some occasional afternoon showers. Morning lows in the low 60s. Afternoon highs in the low 70s.

Wednesday: Sun and clouds. Maybe a morning shower. Morning lows in the upper 50s. Afternoon highs in the mid 70s.

Thursday: Sun and clouds. Morning lows in the mid 50s. Afternoon highs near 80.

Friday: Showers and thunderstorms, especially in the morning and early afternoon. Morning lows in the upper 50s. Afternoon highs in the low 70s.
