Rain chances could linger early in the workweek, then turning hotter later in the week. Today's daily digit — 7/10: Higher rain chances than we'd hope for on a busy weekend, but it shouldn't last all day. | 🤚 Your call?

Given more clouds and some rain around, highs may only make the mid- 70s to near 80.
