High pressure just off the coast will give us another mostly sunny and mild day today with light winds and highs in the 60s.
Yesterday at this time it looked like tomorrow would be dry but now a pesky low pressure off the coast and a low in the Great Lakes will cause cloudy skies with rain likely in the afternoon and evening, Rainfall amounts will be around a quarter of an inch.
Warm Thursday and Friday but a frontal system will give us a good chance of showers late Thursday night into Friday.
