Cloud cover will begin to build up in the evening and there could be some showers overnight, possibly with thunder. On Saturday it will be warm, but cloudy with storms later in the day.
Sunday will be warm with some sunshine but an 80% chance of rain. The rest of the week will be cooler with some sunshine and cloud, and temperatures dropping to the mid teens, which is below average for the time of year.
