The rain will continue into Wednesday, when temperatures reach the high-60s. There’s a 60 percent chance that rain will continue until about 9 p.m. Temperatures will drop to the mid-50s over night. 

There’s a 40 percent chance of more rain Thursday. Otherwise skies will be mostly cloudy and temperatures will reach the low-70s during the day, dropping to the mid-50s at night, when there’s also a 40 percent chance of rain.
