Today will be warm and breezy. There is a Wind Advisory for the mountains and foothills. Winds could gust 40-50 mph. Highs will reach the low 80s. A cold front will move in tonight. That could mean thunderstorms for the higher elevations late this afternoon. As the front moves east, the rest of us will likely see showers this evening - with a few t-storms possible.

Tuesday will be cooler with a low rain chance. Highs will be in the mid 60s.

The next First Alert is for Wednesday. Rain will move in overnight and stick around during the day on Wednesday. It will be a cool and wet day. Highs will only reach the mid 50s. The heaviest rain should fall the first half of the day. Showers will be more scattered toward the afternoon.
