Through tonight: Clouds continue to increase and thicken this evening. Any rain is still well to the southwest, so we’re dry through the evening and into the night. A good one for a long walk or the like! As we get into the predawn-to-sunrise period, rain is breaking out and moving in. Lows are in the mid-40s to low 50s.

Tomorrow (Tuesday): Rain is taking over as the commute gets going, and we should see rain much of the day. While there will probably be some breaks in activity, we may see some moderate to heavy rain at times. With all the clouds and rain around, temperatures probably will have trouble getting out of the mid-50s or so, although there could be a little surge of warmth late. Jason Samenow has more details.
