On Sunday, expect possible showers and thunderstorms around lunchtime and into the late afternoon with highs reaching the low-to-mid 80s. Rain could continue into the evening with highs in the mid-60s.

On Monday, expect partly sunny skies with highs in the mid-80s (high 70s near the coast) and mid-60s during the evening; the southern part of the state could see rain in the late afternoon.

The rest of the week is looking good, too.
