Sunday will be warmer with an isolated shower or thunderstorm (again, nothing severe expected). Our highs get back near normal to the mid 70s, and there will be dry time to enjoy. 

Monday looks a lot better with highs near 80 and some sunshine. A few stray showers are possible in the morning, but much of the day will be dry!

Next week we are drying out and warming up back to the low 80s! So far, we are about 3.5° below normal, with above normal temperatures returning for the end of the month. 

We should see that go down and even out to a seasonable month.
