Wet and Cool

This morning's visual

Yesterday was another nice day here,the last for awhile.Temps reached into the low 20s here on my backyard themometer and it was quite sunny.The temps began to drop in the evening and cloud cover began to increase.Overnight some precip moved into the area and the temps dropped into the chilly zone.
Rain and drizzle is expected for today,some clearing tomorrow with cool temps and then back to rain.There's no real improvement expected until Saturday.
