YESTERDAY’S HIGH: 64 LOW: 40 PRECIPITATION: NONE

Today will be a nice spring day with plenty of sunshine and mild temperatures, however low pressure that has been sitting off the Canadian Maritimes will cause winds to be a little higher than yesterday and with low humidity there is a risk of some brush fires in the area.

Nice spring weather is expected to continue Tuesday through Thursday with mostly sunny skies each day. Winds will be lighter as the low offshore moves further east and high pressure builds into the area from the west.

Unsettled weather Friday through Sunday as a weak frontal system moves into our area. There will be a low chance of showers each day and somewhat cooler temperatures as there will be more clouds around and winds will be from the cooler ocean waters.

THE FORECAST:

TODAY – APR 5 – Sunny, high in the upper 60s.

TONIGHT – Mostly clear, low in the low 40s.

TUESDAY – APR 6 – Sunny, high in the upper 60s.
