There are some spots of heavier downpours and a little bit of lightning mixing in.Thunderstorms are possible but severe weather is not expected today. We are in the upper 60s and 70s which is 10-15 degrees above where we were yesterday. Normal high is up to 70 degrees now so we are right around normal for this time of year.
Scattered showers and storms will taper off this evening and clouds will begin to break up overnight. Lows will only drop into the mid 50s tonight.
Thursday may be the nicest day of the work week. We will see partly cloudy skies with very low rain chances. Highs will reach 70, near normal for this time of year. Winds will be light and variable.
