Slight chance of showers today, then more storms for the work week….As we move through this Mother’s Day, we’re not expecting a washout. But a few isolated showers are possible as a cold front moves in from the northwest. For now, the chances for rain are at 20 percent, so most of us will be dry under partly cloudy skies. Highs will be in the upper 70s and lower 80s. Tonight, under partly to mostly cloudy skies, we’ll see lows in the mid 50s.

Then, for the work week, get ready for even warmer temps. We’re tracking highs in the 80s, along with a chance of rain and thunderstorms almost every afternoon and evening, from Tuesday through the end of the work week.

Today: Partly Cloudy. Slight Chance of Showers (20%). High temperatures in the upper 70s and lower 80s. Winds: SW-NW 10-15 mph.

Tonight: Partly to Mostly Cloudy. Low temperatures in the mid 50s. Winds: E 5-10 mph.

Tomorrow: Partly Sunny. Slight Chance of Showers (20%). High temperatures in the upper 70s. Winds: NW 5-10 mph.
