Tuesday will start off sunny, but clouds in the afternoon are expected to bring local showers and isolated storms, which may be accompanied by hail.
Wednesday and Thursday, the weather will be mainly sunny with cloudy spells. Local rain and isolated showers are expected in the afternoon in the mountains, inland and the south coast. Storms may be accompanied hail. Temperatures will be higher on Wednesday, particularly inland and in the mountains. No significant change in temperatures is expected on Thursday.
