Tomorrow (Sunday): Afternoon breezes from the southwest could gust around 30 mph a few times. Otherwise, a solid spring day with bright skies — other than a few possible clouds that may start bubbling up by midday. A stray shower is unlikely but can’t be ruled out by the time a midafternoon pulse of clouds tries to move though. Our warming trend officially begins with late afternoon high temperatures in the mid-70s to around 80 degrees.
If we see unfettered sunshine, low 80s may be possible; but, more clouds than currently expected could keep us closer to the mid-70s. Overnight, cloud levels and rain chances rise. Showers or a brief thunderstorm are possible but should clear out well before sunrise. Low temperatures aim for the upper 50s to low 60s.
