Strong high pressure will be over us today and we will have sunny skies with light winds, high temperature will struggle to reach the 50 degree mark.
As the high pressure moves offshore a return southwest flow will cause temperatures to be a little milder after another frosty early morning.
Finally a dry weekend can be expected as the high pressure continues to control our weather, temperatures will be above normal with highs in the 60s both days.
Still mild into the middle of next week, but a couple of disturbances will give us a low chance of showers Monday night into Wednesday.
