You’ll need the umbrella this morning as showers and a few thunderstorms work their way through the area. Rain could be heavy at times, leading to ponding on the roadways. Only a couple isolated showers last into midday as clouds begin to clear out. Plan on plenty of sunshine for Thursday and Friday with highs climbing again from the mid-70s to low 80s. The chance of scattered showers and storms returns Saturday but it does not look like a washout. Above average temperatures last through most of next week.

Today: AM showers and couple storms, PM clearing, high of 76.

Tonight: Mostly clear, fog possible, low of 53.

Thursday: Mostly sunny, high of 75.

Friday: Partly cloudy, high of 81.
