TONIGHT
Mostly cloudy and milder than the last couple of nights, with lows in the low to mid 50s and a south-southwest breeze around 10 mph, with a few gusts up to 20 mph. Most of the evening looks dry, but an isolated shower could slip in toward daybreak. It is a
quiet enough night overall, though you can feel the pattern starting to turn more active.
TOMORROW
A warmer and breezier day with at least some sunshine for part of the afternoon before clouds build more noticeably later on. Highs reach the upper 70s, with a southwest wind around 10 to 15 mph and gusts up to 30 mph. Most daytime plans still look workable, but scattered showers and thunderstorms may begin to pop after about 4 p.m., so late afternoon plans will need a weather eye.
TOMORROW NIGHT
This is the main period to watch. Showers and thunderstorms become more likely through the evening and overnight, with a marginal risk for stronger storms that could produce damaging wind and large hail. Lows stay near 60, with a southwest breeze around 10 to 15 mph and gusts into the 20s. Have alerts on before bed, especially if you have evening plans.
TUESDAY
The wettest day of the run. Expect showers through much of the day, with thunderstorms possible as well, especially after the morning hours. Highs hold in the mid 60s, with a south southwest wind around 10 mph and gusts up to 20 mph. Rain could be heavy at times, so this looks like the toughest day of the stretch for outdoor plans and travel.
TUESDAY NIGHT
Showers and a few thunderstorms continue, and this may be the time when some of the heaviest rain totals pile up before cooler air pushes in. Lows fall into the mid 40s, with winds turning north around 10 mph. Roads may stay wet much of the night, and the air will feel noticeably different by daybreak.
WEDNESDAY
Still cooler and not fully dry, with a chance for showers early, then another spotty shower later in the day. Highs only reach the upper 50s to near 60, with a north wind around 5 to 10 mph. There should be some brighter breaks, but compared with Monday this will feel much more raw and subdued.
7 DAY OUTLOOK
The main story is the shift from a fairly quiet Sunday night into a much wetter Monday night and Tuesday, when repeated rounds of rain and thunderstorms could bring heavy rain at times. The stronger storm threat looks highest late Monday into early Tuesday, then the severe concern fades while the soaking rain continues. After that, temperatures settle back into a cooler pattern, with highs around 60 or below for the middle and later part of the week, and only gradual improvement by Thursday and Friday. Friday still carries a modest shower chance, then next weekend trends a little milder with lower rain chances.
