While no severe storms or heavy rain are expected, off and on showers are likely on Saturday especially from midday through the afternoon. Some bouts of steady rain will be possible and rain chances have been increased to 60%.

Cloudy skies and off and on rain will keep temperatures held down to around 70 in the afternoon.

While the bulk of Saturday’s rain will move off shore by Sunday, lingering moisture will lead to a 30% chance of scattered showers at times with mostly cloudy skies.

This week’s cooler weather will be replaced by increasing warmth and humidity next week and a taste of summer. Enough humidity will return to the area for the risk of a stray pop up shower or storm along with temperatures returning to the 80s.
