Warm and cloudy this afternoon

It is a lot cloudier today but temperatures will still peak around a similar high to yesterday (upper 70s to low 80s).

There's a chance of showers to end the afternoon and scattered this evening. Overnight and early tomorrow morning rain will be likely and it will be heavy at times.  Lows will be in the low 60s.

Tuesday

Have the umbrella ready for tomorrow morning. Rain is likely through most of the morning. It will be a cooler day, with highs struggling to reach 70°.  Rain is likely in the evening  and overnight with a few scattered thunderstorms.  Temperatures will fall into the low 60s.
