Tuesday will be mostly sunny and 90 again, with a 20 percent chance of showers after 3 p.m. South southwest wind will be at 3-7 mph.

Tuesday night has the same 20 percent chance of showers, with a possible thunderstorm. It will be partly cloudy and 71 with south southwest wind at 5 mph.

The same chance of storms and showers continues Wednesday night, with thunderstorms tapering off after midnight. It will be mostly cloudy and 66.

We’ll get a break from the 90s on Thursday, when it will be partly sunny and 81. And the low will be a refreshing 63.

Friday, too, will be cooler, but still mostly sunny with a high of 83. The low will be 63 again.

Saturday will be mostly sunny and 82 with a low of 64.

And Sunday should also be mostly sunny and 82.
