We will continue to see less rain showers and storms through the evening hours tonight with activity tapering down after sunset. Overnight tonight, skies will start to clear a bit, with patchy fog developing late tonight into the morning with lows in the lower 60s to upper 50s.

Saturday expect the fog to lift quickly in the morning with a mix of sun and clouds, with a few isolated pop-up t-showers by mid afternoon, with highs in the lower 80s. Pop-ups will fade by the evening on Saturday with clearing skies overnight. Sunday will be a brighter, and warmer day with highs in the middle 80s.

To start the work week off, we will have sunny skies on Monday with highs into the middle to upper 80s. Sunshine will continue into Tuesday with a few more clouds returning, especially later in the day, with temps soaring into the upper 80s.
