Afternoon and Evening Weather Today

This afternoon will be partly sunny with a high near 53 degrees Fahrenheit. The southwest wind will blow steadily at around 11 mph, creating a cool but comfortable feel outside. As evening approaches, clouds will increase, leading to mostly cloudy skies tonight. Temperatures will drop to around 39 degrees, with winds calming to 5 to 7 mph from the southwest.

This transition from sun to clouds sets the stage for the wetter weather expected later in the week. If you plan to be outdoors this evening, a light jacket will be enough to keep you comfortable.

Monday Brings Warmer Temperatures and Early Showers

Monday will warm up a bit, reaching highs near 60 degrees. The southwest wind will pick up slightly, ranging from 8 to 13 mph, which will help keep the air moving and reduce any lingering chill. The day will be partly sunny, making it a good opportunity to enjoy some fresh air.

However, showers are likely Monday night, mainly after 2 a.m. The sky will be mostly cloudy, and temperatures will stay mild, around 49 degrees. There is a 60% chance of precipitation, but the expected rainfall will be light, with less than a tenth of an inch possible. This means you might want to keep an umbrella handy if you’re out late.

A Wet and Stormy Tuesday

Tuesday will bring the most active weather of the week. Showers and possibly thunderstorms will occur before 11 a.m., continuing throughout the day with intermittent rain and storm chances. The high temperature will reach near 67 degrees, making it the warmest day so far.

Winds will remain from the southwest at 8 to 10 mph, which could add some gustiness during storms. The chance of precipitation is high at 80%, so plan for wet conditions if you need to be outside.

Tuesday night will continue with showers and possible thunderstorms, with temperatures dropping to around 48 degrees. The 80% chance of rain means it will be a damp night, so prepare accordingly.

What This Means for Your Week

This week’s weather will require some flexibility. The mix of partly sunny days and frequent showers means you should plan outdoor activities around the drier periods, especially Monday and Wednesday afternoons. Keep rain gear handy from Monday night through the weekend, as showers and thunderstorms will be common.

The southwest winds will keep temperatures mild, with highs mostly in the 50s and 60s. This warmth combined with rain can create humid conditions, so dress in layers and choose breathable fabrics.

If you commute or travel, expect wet roads and possible delays during heavy rain or thunderstorms, especially Tuesday and Friday. Allow extra time and drive carefully.

By staying informed and prepared, you can make the most of this week’s weather, whether you’re working, relaxing, or enjoying time outdoors.
