TONIGHT: Skies remain cloudy overnight for most, with rain chances continuing and increasing south of HWY 50. Temperatures fall to near freezing in the north, but may stay in the 40s in the south.

EXTENDED: Showers continue in a spotty fashion through Tuesday in the south, leaving plenty of dry time. The last showers should leave by Christmas morning at the latest.
