About a half-inch of rainfall is expected from the system, with locally higher amounts.
After the system pushes off the coast overnight, there will be partial clearing overnight, leading to a bright and sunny day to start the new month.

Look for plenty more sunshine on Tuesday, July 2, and Wednesday, July 3, with high temperatures in the low to mid-80s.
