The remnants of ex-tropical storm Ophelia will continue to give us another cool, wet and dreary day today with no sunshine. Another 1/2-1 inch of rainfall is likely through tonight. Winds will continue to be gusty out of the northeast.
The remains of Ophelia will weaken and move offshore on Tuesday but it should remain mostly cloudy with only a low chance of a morning shower.
High pressure to our north will give us a mostly sunny day on Wednesday with continued below normal temperatures.
A weak trough in the area will give us another chance of showers Thursday and Friday.
At this point the weekend looks dry with somewhat milder temperatures.
