Monday starts mostly sunny and already warm, with temperatures in the mid-70s early and a light south-southeast breeze around 5 mph. It will feel a little stickier than the thermometer shows, with feels like temperatures closer to 79. Clouds will build through the morning as the day heads for an afternoon high of 76.
By afternoon, expect a breezy stretch with south-southwest winds around 15 mph and gusts up to 27 mph. A couple of thunderstorms are likely to develop, with a 97% chance of rain. Some downpours could briefly cut visibility and leave water pooling on roads, so it may be a good idea to keep the umbrella close and the windshield wipers ready.
Monday evening stays breezy and warm, with clouds hanging around after sunset. Late tonight, storm chances return, and one stronger thunderstorm is possible before daybreak. Overnight temperatures will settle near the low of 70, with south winds around 12 mph and gusts topping 24 mph.
The allergy outlook is worth a quick heads-up: tree pollen is very high today, while grass, mold and ragweed remain low.
Tuesday brings a high near 79 and a low around 54, with more showers and thunderstorms likely during the day before cooler air moves in by night.
