After rain and wind caused several delays for tennis and rowing competitions last week, weather is expected to have a limited impact to the event schedule this week.
Rain and strong winds also lead to delays during track and field events on Monday evening.

Temperatures will fall slightly on Tuesday to the low 80s F (near 27 C).
A weak front could lead to some showers, AccuWeather Meteorologist Rob Miller said.
"There'll be some showers to dodge, especially into the evening," he said.
Track and field athletes could see damp conditions as they take the stage on Tuesday evening.

By Wednesday, the above-average warmth will continue. Highs will return to the upper 80s F (31 C).
"Wednesday is the warmest day of the week," Miller said. "Humidity will be a minor factor, especially in the afternoon hours."
Heading into late in the week, showers could return by Thursday and Friday. However, any rain that does fall will not be widespread.
