Mostly cloudy skies will continue with a chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms for most of the evening. Lows will be around the mid 60s with southwest wind at 6-10 mph with higher winds in the thunderstorms.

Mostly Sunny skies will return on Wednesday with highs back in the low 80s with Northwest winds 5-8 mph. In the evening partly skies with lows in the mid 60s with light and variable winds.
Later in the Week:
Thursday looks like the warmest day of the week with temperatures rising to the mid to the upper 80s. In the evening there looks like another chance of showers.
