Monday's high will only reach around 80 degrees. Average temperatures for late August are usually in the upper 80s.
Walls said a cool air wedge will weaken Monday, producing clouds and rain to our west that will gradually increase throughout the day.
Monday - our cool air wedge will weaken, allowing the trough of low pressure, producing clouds and rain, to our west to move in. This will gradually increase rain chances through the day. I'm updating the lightning risk, as well, ahead on the Nightbeat. pic.twitter.com/xxZEyanZXv
