A chance of showers and thunderstorms is expected before 4 a.m. The day will be partly sunny, and Friday night will be partly cloudy with a low near 50°. The overnight low is influenced by the dew point, which is 71, and by cloud cover that keeps the temperature from falling much below the dew point.
