The skies look gloomy today, but there’s not a high chance of precipitation as the best dynamics for showers remain mostly offshore and to the east. High temperatures will be a bit above average with high temperatures in the low 70s.

Wednesday the chance for scattered showers will remain with a stationary frontal boundary slow to push south through our region. The best chance for precipitation will again lie to the east, likely well away from the city. High temperatures will be somewhat cooler around 70 with mostly cloudy skies.

Thursday – following the passage of the frontal boundary above, high pressure will build in from the north. Cloud cover should decrease gradually though not entirely clearing, but northeast and easterly wind will lead to cooler temperatures with highs only nudging the 70 degree mark.

Friday should be much the same as Thursday, with high temperatures right around 70 and clouds & sun.

Saturday – the forecast models are unambiguous in anticipating the passage of a negatively tilted cold front through the region (negative tilt in the northern hemisphere would correspond to a frontal boundary where the northern end lies to the west of southern end of the boundary, these types of fronts are often associated with higher levels of instability). Temperatures will be cool in the upper 60s to around 70, with a period of steady showers likely at some point during the day, right now it’s looking like this will be during the morning hours.
