Forecast suggests monday rain, high near 45F, low near 34F, 93% chance of precipitation. Key risks: no significant hazards are highlighted right now, but always confirm against an official briefing. Note: the NWS forecast for now reads "Chance Light Rain" but the current METAR shows none of it; the observation and forecast differ, so trust the METAR for current conditions.
