As we head through tonight, clouds will thicken up, and we’ll see showers begin to develop overnight. It won’t be as cold, with lows settling into the 40s. Roads could turn a bit damp late, so just keep that in mind if you’re out and about.
LYRID METEOR SHOWER TONIGHT
Unfortunately, the weather locally will not be good for viewing, but this meteor shower peaks tonight into tomorrow morning. I wish the weather would be better. The forecast calls for mostly cloudy skies with showers developing towards morning. If anything, maybe before 10 p.m. you might be able to see a few between the clouds, but you need to give your eyes around 45 minutes to adjust to the night sky. I would temper expectations locally for this one, but look northeast this evening to give it a try.
For Wednesday, keep the umbrella handy. It’s looking like a grey and unsettled day with on-and-off rain showers throughout. Temperatures will climb into the 50s despite the clouds and rain.
Looking ahead, we do have some nicer weather on the way. Thursday and Friday both bring a return to sunshine with highs warming into the 60s — a welcome change. As we head into the weekend, we’ll be tracking the chance for more wet weather, with temperatures easing back into the 50s.
