Quiet weather with peeks of sunshine is expected to continue through Monday with winds light and variable. Winds will continue to be light on Tuesday but prevail from the southeast for most of the day. Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, winds could become more easterly, but by the afternoon, winds should return to southeasterly for the rest of the afternoon. As the front approaches Thursday and Friday, winds will likely shift east to northeast. Cloud cover will increase Monday night and become mostly cloudy for the rest of this week. A chance of rain is possible around midweek, though rainfall amounts should be light. Chances for rain are becoming increasing likely for the later half, especially for Friday. Confidence is low between Thursday through the end of the week for the timing of a front that will bring precipitation and increasing northeasterly winds. The visibility forecast could change depending on how the late week system evolves, but it will be related to rainfall rates and the precipitation forecast. .MONDAY...
