Tonight, rain chances drop to 40% with an overnight low of 64 degrees. The cold front that has set off these showers and storms will come through overnight, pushing the rain out and leaving slightly cooler temperatures for us.

Mid week dries out a bit before another brief chance of rain.

High pressure sets in giving us fair weather for Tuesday and Wednesday.

Tuesday will be dry with a high temperature of about 79 degrees under sunny skies. Winds will be a bit breeze at 10 mph out of the north, so it will feel just a bit cooler than 79 degrees. Tuesday’s overnight low temp will fall to about 54 degrees with a few clouds in the sky.

Clouds start to come back on Wednesday as our temperature will reach about 78 degrees. Rain chances start increasing as we go into Wednesday night with a 30% chance of thunderstorms and an overnight low of 57 degrees.

Thursday also sees a 30% chance of rain and storms with a high temperature at a cool 73 degrees.

WAY early look at Memorial Day

Wondering if you will be able to grill out and chill in your yard this Memorial Day? Models are showing that you may want to have an indoor plan.

The GFS model looks 16 days into the future and guesses what the weather might be. Here’s it’s prediction for Monday mid day.

Ask the Canadian model and you get about the same answer. Here’s midday Monday.

These models show some discrepancies (as it should it is more than a week out). but they both seem to think we may get at least a tiny bit of rain. It’s too early to tell much other than there’s a chance, but we will keep watching it and updating it for you during the week.
