Today, lighter winds will let sea breezes develop, so you might see some afternoon showers inland and on the leeward (dry) side.<\/p>\n<p>By Monday, the winds will shift and pick up speed as the pressure system gets stronger. As moisture spreads across the state, expect more showers\u2014especially overnight and early morning from Monday through midweek, particularly on the windward (wet) side.
