Enjoy the sun while it lasts - Tuesday might be the last dry day for a while.
The mercury is expected to rise into the high 60s on Tuesday and few clouds are expected.
But rain will move in Wednesday and could be a factor in the Capital Region right into the weekend.
Forecasters say there is a 90 percent chance of rain on Wednesday and while the likelihood of precipitation falls on Thursday, Friday and Saturday rain could hit on all three days.
The sun is expected back on Sunday but the temperature is expected to plunge into the low 50s on Sunday.
