Temperatures will slowly start to go up as we see a ridge of high pressure pumping back in heat and moisture. We still have a chance for rain today as we continue the transition. At this point, it looks like rain chances will peak after 4 PM, similar to yesterday with a brief round of scattered storms possible.

Today's chance for rain is technically lower than yesterday's rain chances but the scattered storms will likely hit different communities that we saw yesterday.  Basically, what I am trying to say is there are going to be plenty of people out there that see a downpour today that didn't see any rain yesterday.

Looking ahead, the most pleasant day of the week is going to be on Tuesday with low humidity levels and sunny skies. After that, we will begin to see a warm-up with highs in the mid-80s by Thursday and highs hitting the upper 80s with decent humidity on Sunday.
