Damp conditions today didn’t amount to much, with only a few hundredths of an inch on top of what fell last night. Regardless, the drizzle and some fog kept it on the drippy side. We shouldn’t see much rain through tomorrow, and we might even see sustained sunshine.

Through tonight: Clouds remain numerous through evening, but any showers are few and far between. Additional clearing is a better bet late night into morning. Some patchy fog and drizzle may develop. Lows range from about the mid-50s to near 60 as winds tend light.

Tomorrow (Thursday): Sunshine may win the battle with clouds for the day. Temperatures rise near and past average, with highs mainly in the mid-70s to near 80. Winds probably blow out of the north around 10 mph.

Not again? Spring isn’t all sunshine and flowers, as we’ve been reminded of regularly recently. This week seems like another where the nicest days will be close to but not actually on the weekend. Instead, cooler-than-average conditions with a chance of showers again seem attracted to the days we’re off work. Rain may especially focus in on Saturday, as a little area of low pressure seems poised to pass to our south.

Pollen update: The most recent pollen report was rained out.
