The evening is expected to stay mostly clear though conditions remain breezy with a low settling around 65 and potential gusts up to 28 mph, and while those gusts bring a sense of movement in the air, they also signal changes on the horizon.

Sunday night's forecast indicates a dwindling 20 percent chance of showers before 1am, with skies expected to clear up for a low around 46.
