Our gorgeous weather isn’t going anywhere for the rest of the week. Sunshine and comfortable temperatures are expected through Saturday. But rain chances make a big comeback by Sunday, which could turn out to be a soggy day.

A chilly start to Wednesday will see highs back in the mid-70s by the afternoon. Thursday will be the warmest day of the week, with highs in the lower 80s.
The 70s continue after that through the weekend. But after a nice day on Saturday, widespread rain looks to move in for Sunday.
The moisture will come from the tropical system developing in the Gulf. It became the ninth depression of the season on Tuesday afternoon and is expected to strengthen into Isaias on Wednesday and eventually become the first hurricane of the season.
The National Hurricane Center track moves it towards the Gulf Coast, making landfall Friday.
It will weaken as it pushes over land, but will help to spark local rain on Sunday.
