After a lovely day so far, we expect a largely decent evening ahead. A spot shower or storm is possible, but most will remain dry and comfortable. Any shower or storm threat will fade as we get closer to sunset.

Tonight, will be partly cloudy and dry, with cooler temperatures working their way in. The 50s and 60s will offer refreshing overnight temperatures, perfect for opening the windows. There is also the chance for us to see the SpaceX launch! This happens at 5:33 a.m. Tuesday morning and we could potentially see it 4-8 minutes after launch. Provided everything goes right; the launch, the timing, the weather, we could get to view this in the sky!

Tuesday will be another fabulous day full of sunshine, warm temperatures and dry overall. Wednesday is looking nice as well.

Rain and storm chances return for Thursday, with increased precipitation chances as we head throughout the day. Rain chances persist into the weekend.
