Skies will remain cloudy through the remainder of the day. At the
moment, there are just a few light showers in the vicinity of the

later this afternoon into tonight. The coverage of the showers and
thunderstorms should gradually uptick later this afternoon through

Drier conditions are expected during the day tomorrow. Temperatures
today will generally be in the lower 70s, and only fall back into
the mid 60s tonight. Winds will generally be light out of the
southeast, but there could be some brief upticks if a thunderstorm
