Overnight lows only in the mid-upper 60s.
Clouds will be increasing across the area as well.
Partly to mostly cloudy skies heading into our Monday.

You'll notice humidity on the uptick as well..
A few isolated showers could be possible by the afternoon, but better rain chances arriving Tuesday/Wednesday.
Essentially, impulses of upper-level energy, along with daytime heating and instability will lead to increased rain and storm chances for mid-week.

With enough energy available in the atmosphere, any storms that do develop could be on the strong to perhaps severe-side.
Strong winds and hail would be the primary concern, but an isolated tornado can not be ruled out.
Rain chances remaining non-zero heading into the end of the week.
A decent soaking of 1-2+" of rainfall could be possible before all is said and done.

Rain chances may start to taper off into the Easter weekend.
It'll be quite warm as highs push the mid-80s.
Models continue to hint at a cool down into the following week.
We'll see how the pattern evolves with time...
Have a great week!
