The frontal system that gave us the rain yesterday afternoon and at night is moving off the coast with any lingering showers ending around daybreak followed by clearing. A secondary cold front will cross the area later this afternoon possibly accompanied by some snow showers. It will become windy with gusts this evening to 35 mph.
High pressure will then build into the area for Monday and we should have mostly sunny skies with temperatures slightly above normal along with diminishing winds.
Tuesday and through the day on Wednesday it will be mostly cloudy to cloudy with mild temperatures.
The forecast remains quite uncertain for Wednesday night through the day on Friday as a coastal storm will develop. At the present time it looks like the system will stay to far to the east to affect our weather but the forecast for this storm will probably change.
