WEATHER DISCUSSION: Sunday and Monday get a brief break from precipitation before it resumes throughout the rest of the upcoming week. Sunday night will see the earlier breezy conditions decreasing throughout the night by midnight, with wind conditions becoming light.

Despite the chances for upcoming precipitation in the week, highs will increase to the upper 60’s and 70’s. Monday and Tuesday will see temperatures above average for this time of year. Due to a short-wave trough following a cold front, stronger storms could be a possibility for Tuesday including gusty winds and hail.

Chances for precipitation including scattered rain showers and thunderstorms continue throughout the rest of the week. An upper-level ridge will eventually do wonders in calming the weather down by next weekend where it’s showing quiet conditions and warmer temperatures up into the 80’s.
