Tonight, the temperature is expected to drop to a low of around 55 degrees under partly cloudy skies, and winds will shift from north northwest to southwest after midnight.
The city is set to enjoy another mostly sunny Sunday, with the mercury hovering around 83 degrees.

"Showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm," for Monday night, as the National Weather Service predicts, bringing a cooler low of 50 degrees with a 60 percent chance of precipitation.
The outlook for Tuesday hints at a chance of showers, and thunderstorms are also possible after noon.

Meanwhile, hazard-free weather wraps up the week, with Wednesday slated to shine at a high near 72 degrees and a mostly clear night following.
