Rain chances on Monday are almost nonexistent, Rude said, but the possibility does creep into the picture Tuesday and continues through Friday. Those chances, however, are only set at 20 percent. If storms do arrive, Rude said to expect them in the afternoon hours.

Highs throughout the week will be in the mid to upper 80s. Expect lows in the mid-60s or so.
