As the high pressure moves off the coast a light southwesterly flow will give our area milder temperatures on Saturday despite mostly cloudy skies.
A warm front will pass north of the region on Sunday accompanied by some light showers mainly in the morning, temperatures will rise well up into the 60s with some 70 degree readings possible, skies will remain mostly cloudy.
A frontal system will likely give us rain on Monday, temperatures should be a little lower but still well above normal.
Dry weather with slightly above normal temperatures Tuesday and Wednesday.
Another frontal system will give us another good chance of rain Thursday into Friday.
