TONIGHT
Mostly cloudy, with some fog. Showers become likely overnight, with a few rumbles of thunder possible. Downpours could bring brief, locally heavy rain, so watch for some ponding or minor street flooding in the usual poor-drainage spots. This isn't expected to be a widespread flooding event.

Showers and thunderstorms are likely in the morning, with brief heavy downpours. There is a marginal risk of a few stronger storms. Sunday will be warmer and more humid. There is a risk of an isolated storm in the afternoon, but coverage doesn't look too widespread. Temperatures will climb into the upper 70s and low 80s on southwesterly winds.
BOAT AND BEACH FORECAST
