Morning rain Tuesday; dry and mild by late afternoon

The weather headlines for this week are rounds of rain and ups and downs in the temperature department.

Tuesday morning picks up where Monday left off! It's a gloomy start with more rain and some fog to bog down the commute a bit.

But you won't need the rain gear all day. The afternoon should be dry and on the mild side as temperatures climb into the upper 50s. There might even be a bit of sun to brighten the day.

We keep the clouds around through the overnight hours as temperatures drop into the upper 30s and low 40s.

Next round of rain looks to arrive late on Wednesday afternoon which will also be a chillier day than today.
