With that rain comes a cold front, which will lower temperatures.

Daytime highs will be in the 70s mid-week, while morning temperatures will be in the 50s with some spots inland reaching the 40s.

Onshore winds breeze up mid-week as well, potentially bringing a coastal shower at times

Temperatures will trend upward by next weekend, where the pattern looks drier too.
