The front that gave us the precipitation yesterday has moved to our south as weak high pressure builds from the west. We will have cloudy skies early this morning followed by some sunshine this afternoon. Temperatures will rise to the upper 40s to around 50.
The front to our south will move back to our north on Thursday and we will have rain through Thursday night, some of the rain may be moderate at times. Rainfall amounts will average around one inch.
The front will move to our south on Friday so we should stay dry but with plenty of clouds, temperatures will continue to be around normal.
Milder on the weekend and a warm front will move to our north Saturday night with some rain likely.
Mainly dry and quite mild Monday through Wednesday as a high pressure ridge off the southeast coast will give us a southwest flow of air.
