Today will be a warm and rather humid day as high pressure offshore give us a southwesterly flow of air. A cold front will cross the area late tonight accompanied by some showers.

Friday we will have high pressure which will build down from eastern Canada and we will still have a warm day but with humidity lowering throughout the day.

The high pressure will be to our north on Saturday and we will have an onshore flow. Skies will be mostly sunny but it will be a cool day with highs only in the low 70s.

A frontal system will give us rain on Sunday with the steadiest rain being mainly after 8 a.m.

,Monday through Wednesday there will be a front to our south and it looks like high pressure to our north will be strong enough to keep most if not all rain stay to our south. It will be quite cool through this period.
