It's called the sun, and even though you haven't seen much of it recently, it's trying to stage a comeback.
But for now, at least, the rainfall that has pounded the region almost constantly for the past three days is going to win a few last battles before retreating.
The National Weather Service is calling for a 50 percent chance of showers this afternoon, with new rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible, before the chance of rain drops to 30 percent tonight.
The weather service says tomorrow will start out cloudy then become -- you guessed it -- downright sunny, with a high near 72 degrees.
Looking ahead, more of that big yellow ball Thursday and Friday with highs in the upper 70s both days.
