A weak cold front came through dry overnight and our winds have switched to the north. Today will be partly sunny and cooler but with still above normal temperatures in the 50s. A weak disturbance will give us a slight chance of a shower late tonight but most area will stay dry.
High pressure to our north will cause an onshore flow of seasonably cool air for Thursday along with considerable cloudiness.
Still a light onshore flow for Friday but with more sunshine it will be a little milder.
Mild weather for the weekend but a strong frontal system will likely give us showers possibly heavy at times mainly Sunday afternoon through the early parts of Monday morning.
High pressure will then build into our area early next week with mainly dry and mild weather.
