Today we will see an increase in clouds as a frontal system approaches from the west. We will still have some smoky conditions mainly from the wildfire off I-287. Steady light rain should begin around 7 p.m. and end early Monday morning. Rainfall amounts will be between 1/4-1/2 inch and will end our record dry spell at 42 days. Also if you are driving this evening be aware of possible slippery roads when the rain starts as there will be considerable oil on the roads.
The front will move offshore tomorrow morning and it will become a mostly sunny, breezy and quite mild day. A secondary cold front will cross the area dry at night.
Dry but much cooler Tuesday and Wednesday as high pressure builds into the area.
