The latest data has come in.  Sunday will have periods of clouds and sun at times.  The WRF model has a high temperature of 86-88 with the increased sunshine forecast.  It will be more humid.

There’s an increased chance of scattered showers/thunderstorms about 2 PM, then a lull.

Another increase in  showers and thunderstorms about 6 PM as a weak front moves through.  These storms will be scattered.

The front is expected to stall just south of us.  One version of the WRF (there are two versions) shows another round of showers and thunderstorms again about midnight.
