Early day cloudiness is expected to give way to some sunshine this afternoon. Winds will turn southerly and become breezy today, helping warm temperatures back to near 80F. There will be another chance for showers and thunderstorms overnight into Thursday. The remainder of the week and weekend will remain active across the region. While there will be plenty of dry periods during this time, there will be daily chances for showers and thunderstorms.
