The rain has been more abundant to the south and east and this trend will likely continue overnight.The clouds will linger overnight, especially to the east, but rain chances remain at 20% or less.Severe weather is not expected.

As high pressure takes over our weather story next week, clouds will clear and temps will be HOT again. We haven't topped out in the triple digits since July 16th, and that will likely change by mid/late week next week.
