Today’s bright and breezy conditions will give way to clouds and the chance of rain over the next couple of days.

After today, the best chance of seeing the sun for a while is on Sunday, before and after predictions of clouds and rain.

Right now it looks like the rain in our future will most likely be on Friday night and Saturday, when as much as a quarter of an inch to half an inch could fall, according to the latest forecast from the National Weather Service.

The chance of more rain is put at 60 percent Monday, and the word "snow" is in the forecast, with a slight chance of some of the white stuff mixed with rain Monday night.

Between today and the middle of next week, daytime high temperatures drop from the 60s today and tomorrow to between 40 and 50. Overnights will see temps in the mid 30s to the 40s.
