High pressure over the area will give us a mostly sunny day with light winds, high temperatures will be similar to yesterday with highs near 60.

A little milder but with a little more clouds on Tuesday as a warm front approaches and moves through the area at night. There may be some sprinkles with the warm front but most areas will remain dry.

A southwest flow of unseasonably warm air will be with us Wednesday and again on Halloween with some records likely.

A cold front will cross the area on Friday giving us the best chance of some showers this week but it will not be a drought buster with probably less than 1/4″ of rainfall is expected.
