NEXT WEEK

Looking ahead, our forecast remains comfortable. Highs will be in the low-middle 80s for most of the week. Our next chance of rain would arrive with a few showers and storms later in the week. We need to keep an eye on a developing area of low pressure to our south through next weekend. That could bring an increasing risk of showers & storms for both Saturday and Sunday. For now, enjoy your weekend.
