High pressure over our area will give us another sunny day, winds will be lighter than yesterday and high temperatures should be a few degrees higher.

Very mild and sunny on Saturday with some high temperatures reaching near the 80 degree mark.

A weak cold front will cross the area on Sunday and temperatures will be a little cooler but still be above normal. Some showers are possible at night.

Showers are likely Monday into Tuesday as moisture from the remnants of Hurricane Delta along with a front approaching from the west. Computer models are inconsistent at this time on how much rain we will receive with some showing up to 2 inches of rain while others indicate only 1/2 of inch of rain. High temperatures will be cool on Monday and milder on Tuesday.

Mainly dry and mild weather is expected the rest of next week.
