Monday: The Calm Before the Storm

  • Highs reach a pleasant near 70 degrees, though breezy winds could gust up to 25 mph.
  • A few brief showers may sprinkle in early and late, but most of the day stays dry.

Stormy Shift: Rain & Thunder Take Over

  • Monday Night: Thunderstorms rumble in, with heavy downpours possible in spots.
  • Tuesday: The rain ramps up70% chance day, 90% at night.
  • Afternoon storms could roll in as temperatures cool to the upper 50s.
  • Midweek: Drenching continues Wednesday and Thursday, with lingering showers before a slight easing on Friday.

The Light at the End of the Clouds

  • By Friday, skies begin to clear—sun and clouds mix, offering a chance of lingering showers with highs near 60 degrees.

Bottom Line: Pack layers, keep an umbrella handy, and brace for a week of weather whiplash.
