increase. this will take a couple of days for this to happen. we don't expect the rain to get out of here until wednesday or so. cloudy skies overnight. 49 with on again off again showers. 52-56. those winds will go east to northeast. and again on again, off again shower activities perhaps concentrated in the morning hours. as we look at the forecast for boater on the bay, northeast winds 10 to 15 knots gusting to 20. small craft advisory's out. a one to two-foot chop on the bay. a future cast as to the amount of rain that will fall we could see anywhere from the half inch to two-inch. the two inches of rain more than likely west of us. here's the seven-day forecast now. 54 tomorrow, 55 on tuesday. morning lows down in the 40's on tuesday. wednesday, the rain should end in the morning. and the heaviest rains could be
