TONIGHT Mostly clear and quiet after a pleasant afternoon, with lows settling near 50. Winds stay light, generally out of the east to northeast around 5 mph, and it looks like a calm night for anything outdoors.   TOMORROW Another warm and comfortable day with a mix of sun and passing clouds. Highs reach the mid 70s, with an east to southeast breeze around 5 to 10 mph. This is still the easy part of the forecast, with dry weather holding and a nice spring feel for errands, games, or time outside.   TOMORROW NIGHT Partly cloudy and mild for late April, with lows in the mid 50s. A light southeast breeze around 5 to 10 mph keeps the night from turning too cool, and dry weather continues through the overnight.   MONDAY Very warm and increasingly breezy with a mix of sun and building clouds through the day. Highs jump into the low 80s, with a south to southeast wind around 10 to 15 mph and gusts up to 25 mph. Most of the daytime still looks usable, but this is the day where the pattern starts to turn, and storm chances begin to build from mid afternoon into the evening.   MONDAY NIGHT This is the period to watch most closely. Showers and thunderstorms become likely, and some storms could turn strong to severe with damaging wind, heavy downpours, and a localized flooding concern. Lows hold in the low 60s, with a gusty south wind around 10 to 15 mph. If you have evening plans, make sure you have a way to get warnings Monday night.   TUESDAY The day starts more unsettled with showers and a few thunderstorms still possible, especially early, then improving conditions should build in through the afternoon. Highs reach the mid 70s, with a west breeze around 10 to 15 mph and a few gusts near 20 mph. It is not a washout, but the first half of the day looks much less clean than the second half.   TUESDAY NIGHT Partly cloudy and cooler, with lows in the mid 50s. Winds ease back through the night, and the overall setup turns much quieter after the Monday night system moves through.   WEDNESDAY Cooler air settles back in with a mix of sun and clouds and a breezy feel at times. Highs reach the mid 60s, with a northwest wind around 10 to 15 mph and a few higher gusts. Some rain showers could still be active in the morning hours. Compared with Monday, the air feels much less humid and a lot more seasonable.   7 DAY FORECAST The weekend stays warm and quiet, then Monday brings the main headline with a late day into nighttime severe storm window. After that, temperatures step down in stages, from the low 80s Monday to the 70s Tuesday and the 60s by Wednesday, with cooler weather favored later in the week as well. The broader trend after Monday night is toward less humid air and a quieter stretch, although a stray shower chance may return later in the week as readings continue to cool.   ...read more read less
