Tuesday will bring similar conditions, with highs near 91 degrees and calm winds turning southwest by afternoon. Wednesday will see a slight increase, with highs near 92 degrees and light breezes.

Forecasters said highs will remain 3 to 6 degrees below seasonal averages early in the week before moderating. Thursday will be cooler, with highs near 84 degrees, before rebounding into the upper 80s Friday and Saturday.

Rain chances enter the forecast Saturday, with a slight chance of showers during the day and a better chance Saturday night into Sunday. Probabilities remain low, around 20 percent, but residents are advised to monitor updates.
