Sunny start but rain later

A sunny morning starting the day on a cheery note.  The bright skies lasted until late morning, but cloud gradually gathered in the southwest and slowly thickened, eventually bringing rain, which became fairly heavy during the afternoon.  The rain continued more patchily throughout the evening.  A little warmer but the edge taken off the temperatures in a cool breeze.
