Rain will wind down by 10:00 AM Wednesday in most neighborhoods, paving the way for returning afternoon sunshine a low pressure eventually tracks east of the state. Before that happens, a brief warm frontal passage is expected, which will push temperatures to around 60 degrees on Wednesday afternoon.
