The rain will finally end overnight with a clearing sky, expect lows in the upper 50s.

MARVELOUS MAY WEATHER: Tomorrow and Friday, we are forecasting rain-free weather with a mostly sunny sky and low humidity. Afternoon highs will be in the 80s, while nights will feature lows in the 50s and 60s. Enjoy, because these temperatures are below average for this time of year and is likely the last time we will see 50s until the fall.

Rain chances will be in around 20% these days. Expect a mostly sunny sky with highs in the 80s.
