The Day Remains the Same
Yes, more sunshine and just a little warmer today than the day before- we’ll have a high today in the low 90’s and again enjoy low humidity for the time of year. The chance for an afternoon storm remains very low heading into the week- around 10% tomorrow and Saturday with only a 20% chance by Sunday. A front will move toward us from the northwest by Monday and Tuesday- this will improve our rain chances slightly more.
