The cloud cover will increase as we go through tonight and there will be some scattered showers and a few thunderstorms around, generally after midnight, as a disturbance begins to impact the state. Tomorrow will be a partly cloudy day, with the cloud cover deceasing some as the day goes on as the disturbance leaves our area.
