Spotty showers will also be possible.

The chance of rain will begin to increase on Monday, and high temperatures are expected to be in the low 80s due to an approaching front.

The breeze will also build with the potential for some scattered showers.

On Tuesday and Wednesday we'll enjoy a slight cooldown as high temperatures dip into the upper 70s with a few showers possible through midweek.
