1. Enjoy sunny weather with temperatures in the hi 80's and 90's today and the rest of the weekend. On Saturday, their may be a chance of showers and thunderstorms in the evening that could roll over into Sunday. The rain won't hold up for Independence Day so you can expect partly sunny skies and hi's near 90 degrees.
