The evening promises to maintain the day's tranquility, mostly clear with the thermostat dipping ever so slightly to around 73 degrees. The east wind, persistent yet gentle at 5 to 7 mph, is forecast to take a break after midnight, giving way to calm conditions. This serene weather narrative continues into Friday with only, a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms creeping in after 2 pm, though the likelihood remains a slender 20 percent.
Looking ahead, the National Weather Service's detailed forecast suggests more of the same for Saturday: a sun-dominated sky with a slightly higher high of 91 degrees.

By Sunday, the chance of rain becomes slightly more evident; a 30 percent chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms signals a subtle shift in the pattern. The trend of marginally increasing temperatures continues, flirting with the notion of a hotter 92 degrees. Meanwhile, the nighttime maintains a consistency, partly cloudy with lows lingering around 75 degrees, and a repeat performance of a 30 percent chance for showers and thunderstorms before the sun bids farewell.
As we look toward the workweek, Monday heralds a more decided chance of precipitation. The optimistic mostly sunny forecast is overshadowed by a 70 percent probability of showers and thunderstorms in the post-2 pm hours.
