For Monday, expect mostly sunny weather with temperatures reaching around 90 degrees. The wind will be from the east-southeast in the morning but shift to the northwest in the afternoon. There's a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms in the evening, with temperatures dropping to about 68 degrees and a light north wind at 5 mph.
