Sunday’s Weather: A Midday Splash Followed by Clear Skies
A brief bout of rain and thunder rolls through the afternoon, but the day will close with plenty of sunshine and milder temperatures across the region.
Looking ahead to Sunday, the forecast is a bit of a mixed bag. In the morning you’ll wake up to gentle sunshine, the kind that makes you want to sip coffee on the porch. Temperatures will hover in the mid‑60s, comfortable enough for a light jacket.
Come mid‑day, however, that easy‑going vibe gets a little shaken up. Meteorologists are pointing to a weak front moving in from the west, bringing a 40‑50% chance of showers between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. The rain won’t be torrential, but you might notice a few sprinkles and, yes, a touch of thunder – the kind that’s more “rumble in the distance” than a full‑blown storm.
If you’re planning outdoor activities, a quick glance at the sky around lunch is wise. A short‑lived thunderstorm could pop up, especially near the western hills and coastal lowlands. It’s the sort of weather that makes you think, “Well, that was unexpected,” but it’s usually over in under an hour.
After the clouds clear – typically by early evening – the sun will make a strong comeback. Expect mostly sunny skies after 5 p.m., with temperatures easing down to the low‑50s as night falls. It’s a perfect setting for a relaxed dinner on the patio or a gentle walk along the river.
For those commuting or heading out for errands, the rain isn’t expected to cause major disruptions. Still, a quick umbrella in the bag won’t hurt, especially if you’re passing through low‑lying neighborhoods that tend to hold a little extra moisture.
All in all, Sunday will start bright, get a quick, mild shower and a dash of thunder, then finish with the kind of clear, crisp evening many of us look forward to after a weekend of lingering cloud cover. Keep an eye on the radar, but overall the day should be pleasant and mostly sunny.
