By noon, warmer air will be winning out, leaving any leftover precipitation as just rain. The afternoon will dry up and warm significantly. These warmer temperatures last into Thursday, but an approaching cold front will stir up rain and thunderstorms. This cold front will drop temperatures enough for some early rain and snow on Friday. Temperatures, however, should be back to more seasonal levels this weekend.
