Sunny skies will prevail through the next few days, with a high near 85 degrees on Thursday, according to the National Weather Service. The low will be near 66. 

A beautiful weekend looks to be in store with sunshine continuing to dominate Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with temperatures in the low to mid 80s, the weather service said, but gradually cooling.

Rain may develop Sunday night, signaling a change to wet weather next week.

There is a 50% chance of showers Monday, with a high of about 78 degrees and between a 30% to 40% risk of rain Tuesday and Wednesday, forecasters said. The highs those days will be around 80 degrees and it will be otherwise partly sunny.
