| Weather Concerns | A weak weather system passing over the area today will produce cooler temperatures along with a slight chance of an afternoon shower or thunderstorm, but little to no rainfall is expected. An upper level ridge will rebuild over the area midweek for a return of warmer and dry conditions. High temperature around 77°F with light winds in the morning becoming west around 6 mph in the afternoon. Gusty and erratic winds expected near thunderstorms in the afternoon. |
