By the middle of the week, the mercury will again begin to rise as a slow-warming trend takes over. Highs will climb to the middle 60s on Wednesday and top out in the low 70s on Thursday.
Rain will return Thursday evening however, and continue into the end of the week. Those heading outdoors in the evening Thursday and those making the Friday morning commute will want to pack an umbrella.
