After a cool start tomorrow morning temperatures will moderate by the afternoon as high pressure builds into our area. It will still be a little breezy but skies will be mainly sunny all day.
As the high pressure moves off the coast a southwesterly flow of quite mild air will be with us Wednesday and Thursday. A cold front passing through our area Thursday night will give us a chance of some showers.
Sunny and a little cooler on Friday.
At this point the upcoming weekend looks dry but chilly, some areas to our north and west may have the first frost of the season.
