Today is expected to be the warmest day so far this year. Skies will be mostly sunny and temperatures should rise to the 80s by early this afternoon. A back door cold front will cross our area late in the afternoon or this evening which will give us a chance of showers late this afternoon into this evening.
Tuesday will be mostly cloudy as a stationary front will be just to our south, with an onshore flow temperatures will be cooler with highs only around 70. A weak disturbance will give us a chance of showers and thunderstorms Tuesday night into Wednesday afternoon.
Thursday and Friday should be dry with temperatures a little above normal.
Another weak frontal system may give us some scattered showers for the weekend but it should not be a washout.
