Wednesday we will have some clearing with milder temperatures as the frontal system and upper low moves offshore. There still will be a chance of an afternoon and evening shower and thunderstorms.
Thursday will start off dry but a cold front will give us a chance of an afternoon shower.
Another low pressure system will likely give us some more rain Thursday night into Friday along with cool temperatures.
