TUESDAY
Expect cooler and slightly drier weather on Tuesday. Tuesday will feature a mostly cloudy sky. Shower chances return later in the afternoon and evening. A wintry mix isn’t totally out of the question across the higher elevations Tuesday night. Highs warm into the 50s and low 60s.
WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY
Moisture may linger into early Wednesday morning. Otherwise, expect highs in the 50s and 60s under a mostly sunny sky. Sunshine continues into Thursday. Highs will warm into the 60s Thursday afternoon.

NIGHT SKY VIEWING
You’ll want to look up Tuesday night after sunset as you could see many planets in our solar system all at once! Mars, Uranus, Venus, Mercury and Jupiter will be spotted. (It is possible you could see it Monday night too!) Hopefully cloud cover will not get in the way.
