Forecast in detail The last few days were pretty awesome, and they'll feel quickly farther in the rearview mirror as our weather snaps back to resembling summer in the days to come.

Lots of sun, with only a small chance of an isolated late-day storm. Winds are out of the south around five to 10 mph. Confidence: Medium-High Tonight: Outside a small chance of an evening storm, partly cloudy conditions persist into the night.
