Showers came from the east and pushed inland, where the system worked with the heat of the day to produce some thunderstorms. These storms will push toward the west coast for the rest of the early evening, making for a pleasant, if muggy, evening ahead.

Lows Saturday night will range from 74 degrees at the beaches to 75 degrees inland under partly cloudy skies.

Sunday will be a bit drier than Saturday and the showers will be even more scattered. Without the rain and clouds, the temperature will be allowed to reach 91 degrees and will feel like 100 degrees.

Rain chances take a big step up Monday and hit the 60 percent mark. Tuesday and Wednesday also look active, with more normal (40 percent) rain chances finishing out the week.

Thursday at 10:21 a.m. will mark the autumnal equinox.
