Wednesday starts mostly cloudy and quiet, with temperatures in the low 50s early and a light north-northwest breeze. Feels like readings are a touch milder than the thermometer at daybreak, so it is not a bad start if you are heading out early.
By afternoon, clouds will break at times for some sun as the temperature climbs to a high near 63. Northwest winds will pick up to around 14 mph, with gusts as high as 31 mph, so it will be a breezy middle of the day. Rain chances stay very low at just 6 percent.
