On Monday, there is a 30 percent chance of rain. Skies should be mostly cloudy and the temperature will peak in the low 80s and drop to the high 60s overnight.

Tuesday’s chance of rain is just 20 percent. Expect more cloudy skies and temperatures in the mid-to-high 80s. At night, temperatures will drop to the high 60s.

Wednesday also brings a 30 percent chance of rain with cloudy skies. Temperatures should be in the mid-8-s during the day and drop to the mid-60s at night.

There’s no rain in Thursday’s forecast, just cloudy skies and temperatures in the mid-80s during the day and high 60s at night. 

Friday brings back the threat of storms with a 30 percent chance of rain. Skies should be cloudy and temperatures will be in the low-to-mid 80s. Friday night there’s a 40 percent chance of rain and temperatures should drop to the high 60s.
