The trough of low pressure that triggered the shower activity the past few days has shifted north but we still have plenty of lingering moisture that will continue to give us some light precipitation this evening.
Tomorrow a low pressure area moves northward off to the west and that will give us another slight chance of showers with the winds becoming southwesterly 5-10, highs tomorrow near 57, the lows near 42.
We see a little better chance of showers on Sunday as another stronger low pressure area slides up the coast so we see continued mostly cloudy skies with a chance of showers, southerly winds 5-10, highs near 56, lows near 44.
The low continues its slow track northeastward Monday, so we keep the chance of showers as the low starts to move inland. The shower activity begins to become more widely scattered later Monday night as the low continues to move inland, highs near 57, lows near 43.
Tuesday conditions start to improve, any remaining showers come to an end under partly sunny skies, and we see a gradual warmup with the high up to 59 Tuesday, but with mostly sunny skies Wednesday the high climbs to near 63, and up to near 65 on Thursday, with partly cloudy nights, the lows only drops down into the mid 40s.
