Winds from the southeast, gently nudging at around five mph, are expected to push through the fog before 10 am, according to the same forecast. The weekend maintains a semblance of this pattern, with a recurring 30 percent chance of rain each day, and temperatures hovering in the mid-80s. As we move into the night, that probability recedes, granting brief reprieves of partly cloudy skies.
Sunday's forecast promises a clearer spell with plentiful sunshine and highs stepping up to an inviting 86 degrees. Even nightfall doesn't seem to bring much relief from the mild southern breezes, forecast to reach gusts as high as 20 mph, a cloak of increased cloudiness to drape over the city once the sun dips below the horizon.
Heading into Monday, "Mostly cloudy" seems to be the mood, punctuated by the occasional rumble of thunderstorms as a further 20 percent risk of rain is predicted. During the night, unseen in the darkness, gusts could flit as fast as 20 mph while the city slumbers under mostly cloudy skies. A significant uptick in storm potential is expected on Tuesday, with a 60 percent chance that residents will need to seek shelter as showers and thunderstorms intensify, increasing to a confident 70 percent by nightfall.
Midweek serves up an even greater likelihood for residents to test the resilience of their rain boots; an 80 percent chance of showers with a warm, but not unmanageable, high of 81 degrees is expected Wednesday.

This slight retreat to a mere 30 percent risk and a forecasted high back in the comfortable range of 85 degrees.
