The cold front that caused the showers yesterday has moved well offshore and high pressure in the middle of the country builds eastward. Today will be mostly clear in the morning but we should see an increase in clouds this afternoon along with a chance of some sprinkles. High temperatures will be more fall like with highs in the 60s.
Tomorrow will also be breezy and we again will have mostly clear skies in the morning but with increasing clouds in the afternoon along with another chance of sprinkles.
After a cool morning on Tuesday a more southwesterly flow will bring milder air in the afternoon.
Wednesday through Friday look to be dry with above normal temperatures but not as warm as what we experienced the last few days.
Cooler again next weekend and we should stay rain free.
