Weak high pressure will be over the area today with plenty of sunshine and very warm temperatures with highs in the upper 80s to around 90 degrees.

Downsloping flow and deep mixing should support min RH values around 25 percent this afternoon. Moisture increases tonight into Friday as cold front moves into the region and stalls through the weekend keeping chances of rain over the area Friday into Monday with Sunday having the highest chances. Winds should be southwesterly ahead of the front through Friday into early Saturday before shifting to the north and northeast behind the front Sunday. Fog potential: Patchy fog possible.
