The cool front is expected to take full effect starting Sunday, taking daily high temperatures from the mid to low 90s down into high to low 80s. Lows during the evenings are expected to reach the low 70s. The current 10-day forecast shows a chance of rain through Friday, and then again Monday through every day to next Friday, July 26.
Pay attention to local weather updates and traffic conditions, as pop-up storms can drop a couple inches of rain in short amounts of time. Some streets may experience flooding.
