A weak cold front moved to our south overnight and high pressure will build into the area today providing the area with sunny skies, seasonably cool temperatures and very low humidity with dew points falling into the 40s.

With clear skies overnight and calm winds we should have the coolest temperatures in three months with lows falling into the low 50s with much of the inland areas in the 40s. Sunshine during the day on Friday as high pressure will be in our area, high temperatures will be a few degrees higher than today.
