Calm and Clear Nights to Start the Week

Tonight, expect mostly clear skies with temperatures dropping to around 53 degrees. The west wind will blow gently at 5 to 10 mph but will become light and variable by evening. This kind of weather is perfect for a peaceful night outdoors or a good night's sleep without the disturbance of strong winds or rain.

Sunday will bring sunshine and a pleasant high near 76 degrees. Winds will be calm in the early morning but will pick up slightly from the northwest at 5 to 9 mph. This makes Sunday ideal for outdoor activities like hiking, gardening, or a picnic in the park.

Sunday night will see increasing clouds with a low near 54 degrees. Winds will remain calm, setting the stage for a cooler, cloudier night but still comfortable.

Showers Arrive on Monday

Monday marks a shift in weather with showers expected throughout the day. The high temperature will be near 72 degrees. Winds will start calm but will become southeast at around 6 mph in the afternoon. There is an 80% chance of precipitation, with rainfall amounts between a quarter and half an inch possible.

Prepare for wet conditions if you plan to be outside. Carrying an umbrella or raincoat will be wise. Roads may be slick, so drive carefully during peak rain hours.

Monday night will continue with a chance of showers, mainly before 2 a.m. The sky will be mostly cloudy with a low around 56 degrees. East winds will blow at about 5 mph but will calm down later in the evening. The chance of precipitation drops to 50%, so the rain may taper off as the night progresses.
