Tomorrow (Saturday): Shower will be possible throughout the day with a few rumbles of thunder possible as well.

These winds will bring highs in the low to mid-80s, humid air (dew points around the mid-60s), and a chance for showers and storms later in the day. Confidence: Medium.
Sunday night: Partly to mostly cloudy skies with a chance for showers and storms remaining overnight. Lows should drop to the 60s with calm winds. Confidence: Medium-Low.
Monday: Monday shouldn't be a bad pool day as highs reach the mid-80s to around 90 with dew points in the mid to upper-60s making it feel several degrees warmer. There may only be a slight chance for an afternoon or evening storm with winds from the northwest gusting up to 20-25 mph. Confidence: Medium-Low.
Monday night: Lows drop to the upper-60s to the lower-70s under partly cloudy skies and northeastern winds at around 5 mph. Confidence: Medium-Low.
