The “potent” low pressure system that gave us around 2 inches of well needed rain overnight is moving offshore and the rain is ending. Today will remain mostly cloudy but it will be mild with highs near 60. Winds should be light.
Thanksgiving Day will be pleasant with near seasonable temperatures and mostly sunny skies, winds will be a little brisk in the morning with gusts to 25 mph but the wind will diminish in the afternoon.
Friday looks to be a dry day, again with near seasonable temperatures and sunny skies.
Most of the weekend looks dry as high pressure build into the area. Saturday will be chilly and it should be a little milder on Sunday, but temperatures will be a little below normal. A weak coastal low pressure may give us some showers Sunday night that may be mixed with snow well inland.
High pressure will then build into our area for early next week with dry conditions but continued below normal temperatures.
