.DISCUSSION...
Expect mostly cloud skies today, with mid/high level clouds
throughout the day. I am thinking all light rain showers will be
to your north, but if it does rain, it should mostly be a
sprinkle/very light rain shower today. It will be cool today, but
warmer/a bit windy tomorrow. Monday is looking to be the
warmest/low humidity/windy day.
