Wednesday. As moisture builds, frontal boundaries begin to make
their way into the area increasing chances for precipitation.
Highest chances for precipitation as of right now looks to be
Tuesday night into Wednesday (30-50%) with chances lowering below
20% by Thursday.

Daytime temperatures at the beginning of the week will be in the
upper 70s to low 80s and slowly cool into the 60s by the end of
