Saturday will see dry and sunnier conditions through the morning, but that will fuel the atmosphere with energy to produce thunderstorms later in the day. Temperatures will warm into the 70s and 80s ahead of the storm chance.

Rain should end before midnight, and fog will likely develop into Sunday morning. Temperatures will drop into the 50s overnight.

Sunday will begin with fog, but tomorrow morning should stay dry. Shower chances return late in the day, and we'll track waves of rainfall through Monday, Tuesday and even early Wednesday. This could allow for many areas to pick up several inches of rain.
