SUMMARY: Look for above normal highs in the 80s through at least Thursday along with plenty of sunshine and low rain chances.

MONDAY: Plentiful sunshine after scattered morning clouds thin out. Warm highs in the low 80s. Winds S 5-10 mph.

MONDAY NIGHT: Clear and quiet. Lows in the upper 50s to lower 60s. Light winds from the SSE.

TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny and warm. Highs in the mid 80s. Lows in the lower 60s.

THURSDAY: Partly cloudy and warm. Highs in the 80s. A 20% chance of a few showers. Lows in the 60s Thursday night.

FRIDAY: Staying warm with highs around 80. Partly to mostly cloudy with a 40% chance of rain and storms.

WEEKEND: Variably cloudy. A few showers may linger Saturday with dry conditions more likely on Sunday. Highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s.
