Rain chances go down a little bit tonight, but are not ruled out completely. It will be another muggy night across the area as well. Lows will fall to the low 60s.

Tomorrow will bring more showers and storms, with even warmer temperatures in the afternoon. Highs will reach the upper 70s. The afternoon and evening will bring a marginal risk for severe weather. Strong winds will be the biggest threat.
