FORECAST IN DETAIL

A fair mix of sun and clouds today will be a brief respite from our rainy past and possible future. Just how rainy a future depends on the placement of a cold front along the coast. So, set up some fans outside blowing to the east and maybe we'll be o.k. If that doesn't work, several waves of showers could move across our region between Monday and mid-week.

Today (Sunday): We'll begin to dry out today as the cold front that brought heavy rains to parts of the area the past few days heads out to sea. Only a 20% chance for a shower remains, mainly in the morning and east of town. The afternoon should be dry with highs in the low-to-mid 80s under partly sunny skies. Winds will be out of the west-northwest at 5-10 mph. Confidence: Medium-High

Tonight: Expect partly cloudy skies overnight. We'll cool down nicely, with overnight lows in the low 60s for most with a few places reaching the upper 50s. Winds will become from the north at around 5 mph. Confidence: Medium-High

Tomorrow (Monday): Much cooler weather begins to work its way in to start out the work week. Despite morning sunshine, considerable cloud cover in the afternoon should limit our highs to the mid-70s. By late afternoon or evening, we could (30% chance) see some showers working in from the south. Confidence: Medium-High

Tomorrow Night: Showers may (40% chance) become more numerous overnight as a weak wave of low pressure slides up the coast - especially east of town. Skies will be mostly overcast and overnight lows will be near 60 degrees. Confidence: Medium

A LOOK AHEAD

Our fate lies with how far offshore this cold front moves. On Tuesday we'll be right in the transition zone between beautiful fall-like weather to the west and dampening rain to the east. So chances for showers and thundershowers remain with us (30% chance). Highs will probably be held down by mostly cloudy skies, topping out in the mid-70s. Confidence: Medium

By Wednesday, sunshine will most likely break out. High pressure builds in from the west diminishing our chances of rain. Partly sunny skies should prevail with highs in the mid-70s. Confidence: Medium
