Expect seasonable shower and thunder chances today, but chances
are expected to increase over the following days due to
increasing moisture and broader troughing moving in. Surface
conditions will remain seasonable with highs near 90 and lows in
the lower 80s. RH will bottom out in the mid 60s in the afternoon
and recover into the 80s overnight. Winds will be light east to
southeasterly this morning, gradually strengthening to a gentle to
moderate northeast to easterly breeze late this afternoon and
evening.
