Unfortunately, we’re seeing the end of that wet streak arrive as our rain chances dry up tonight and move on starting tomorrow.

TONIGHT

A few lingering showers could persist until around midnight as the low-pressure system associated with the rain today continues to move further to the northeast.

Mild and humid as we stay in the 60s and upper 50s(Dylan Smith)

Temperatures will stay mild in the 60s overnight with a light breeze of 5 to 10 mph.

SUNDAY

Gorgeous and sunny! High temperatures will jump more than 10 degrees from Saturday’s highs in the upper 70s and lower 80s as we get back to the mid 90s for most this afternoon.

It'll be a much warmer day coming up tomorrow than we've been the last several days at least(Dylan Smith)

I don’t think we’ll see much in the way of cloud cover most of the day so grab the sunscreen if you’re heading out the door!

EXTENDED WEATHER PATTERN

High pressure begins to take over starting Sunday as high temperatures climb into the 90s for most of the area.

A toasty and summer-like weather trend is heading our way(Dylan Smith)

We’ll see some variation of low, mid and high 90s for most of next week with likely a few 100s mixed in there as well at times.

We're mostly dry for the next few days before some light rain chances start to kick up mid-week(Dylan Smith)

I expect the first half of the week to stay dry as we then introduce a light chance of some showers beginning Wednesday and continuing into next weekend.
