Looking Ahead: A Shift on Monday
While the weekend remains dry, a significant change is on the horizon. Monday is expected to bring showers and possibly a thunderstorm after noon, with a high near 65°F (18°C). The chance of precipitation is 80%, so it’s wise to keep an umbrella handy as we start the new week. National Weather Service
