Highs Sunday will drop back to normal levels in the 40s and 30s with sunshine returning.
Some forecast models are hinting at a system developing rain showers late Monday into Tuesday but most forecast models are trending more south now. There remains a high degree of uncertainty in track, placement and timing at this point.
