There is a 20% chance of light showers overnight Tuesday into Wednesday, according to the weather service, along with gusty winds up to 20 mph.
The warmest day of the week will be Wednesday, with a high of 47 degrees and sunny skies, the weather service said. Wednesday night, there is another 20% chance of rain but the temperature should only drop to 41.
