Through tonight: Early evening and a bit before dawn have the highest chances of seeing a period of steadier rain. Otherwise, it’s occasional showers, drizzle and fog that dots the region.

Tomorrow (Sunday): Showers remain possible almost anytime. Chances of steadier rain increase as a morning warm front approaches. Temperatures behind the front should make it into the upper 60s to low 70s by late day as we see a few peeks of sun. The more sunshine, the higher the chances of afternoon thunderstorms. Breezes from the south and southeast pick up a bit behind the warm front into the afternoon.
Overnight, thunderstorms and showers remain possible, but the bulk of the activity should move east of the area. Skies are mainly cloudy as sticky temperatures hover within a few degrees of 65.
