Detailed forecast

A partly sunny and slightly warmer Sunday is a good excuse to spend some time by the pool. We do need rain though and we should get more chances this week due to a frontal boundary nearby. Temperatures for much of the week should be less extreme than our recent heat waves, with closer to average highs, mostly in the mid-80s to low 90s. Enjoy it as there are signs that we’ll be warming up again next week.

Today (Sunday): Overall, not a bad end to the weekend, although it will be warmer. We have partly sunny with highs in the upper 90s to low 90s, moderate to high humidity, and the chance of a stray afternoon shower. Confidence: Medium-High

This evening: A few showers are possible in the evening, then an increasing chance of showers towards morning. Otherwise it will be mostly cloudy with lows in the upper 60s to low 70s. Confidence: High
