High pressure moving off the coast will give us dry conditions and mostly cloudy skies today with milder air and very light winds.
A warm front will move north of our area Sunday morning accompanied by some light showers and followed by a strong southwest flow of unseasonably mild air with high temperatures reaching the low 70s in many areas.
The front will sag into our area on Monday with some showers likely, at the present time the front may just stay to our north most of the day which would give our area another unseasonably warm day.
The front will move to our south Tuesday morning with showers mainly before dawn and followed by a brisk northwest flow of cooler air.
Rather unsettled weather Wednesday through Friday with a chance of showers late Wednesday night and again on Friday. Temperatures during this period will average slightly above normal.
