Keep the sunglasses and the umbrella with you today! A passing shower is possible at any point but keep the outdoor plans through the afternoon. The good news about this next storm is that the bulk of the rain and thunderstorm chance is moving through during the overnight hours. That said, if you are traveling after around 10 p.m. tonight or getting an early start tomorrow morning, you will have to slow down travel due to scattered ponding of water from heavy rain and a few scattered thunderstorms.

Most of today will be fine, but with a quick rain shower chance throughout the day. It will also feel warm with high temperatures in the mid to upper 70s.

Following tonight's and tomorrow morning's rain, I am optimistic about tomorrow afternoon and evening's weather! There can be an isolated shower or storm in the afternoon but keep the outdoor plans with most of the afternoon and evening on the drier side. The high tomorrow will be near 70 degrees.

The start of June and meteorological summer will be near average to slightly below average temperature-wise between Sunday and Monday. That said, there is a nice warmup that arrives starting Tuesday with highs in the upper 70s to mid-80s through the end of next week.
