High pressure builds in for Wednesday and we will have a pleasantly mild day with mostly sunny skies and highs in the low 50s.

A stronger system is expected to give us rain Thursday into Thursday night, highs will be in the 40s.

High pressure will then build into our area and we should have dry conditions Friday through most of the weekend along with continued above normal temperatures.

Another system will give us a chance of rain Sunday night into Monday that may begin as snow especially further inland.
