Sunny St. Patrick's Day before wet weather returns

Happy St. Patrick's Day! After a gloomy Monday the sun is out in full force Tuesday for St. Patrick's Day! The sunshine also comes with some warmer air with highs in the middle to upper 40s. 

We also hit a milestone on Tuesday - over 12 hours of daylight! The sunrise Tuesday morning happened just before 7 a.m. and the sunset will happen just after 7 p.m.

Unfortunately our sunshine doesn't last forever with a wintry mix including some snow falling Wednesday morning then scattered rain showers the rest of the day. Rain totals look to stay around a half inch in most spots. 

Wednesday's rain showers wrap up just after midnight Thursday morning and after a brief break Thursday morning more rain arrives and lasts into Friday morning when it could mix with some snow. Download the CBS 58 Ready Weather App to track the latest on the rain.
