The work week wraps up with increasing clouds on Friday and highs of around 80 degrees, forecasters say.

The day starts out dry and partly sunny, with the chance and then the likelihood for showers in the overnight hours into Saturday, the National Weather Service said. A few thunderstorms are also be possible at that time.

Saturday brings more of the same, with a 70 percent chance for showers and temperatures rising to around 77 degrees, the weather service said.

Look for those unsettled conditions much of Saturday, “before the area begins to dry out on Sunday,” the weather service said.

Mostly sunny skies are forecast for Sunday, which brings highs in the low 80s.
