After a few heavy pockets of rain developed late in the day, the rain has come to an end.  Skies will become mostly clear at times later tonight and temperatures will drop into the 40s.

There will be more sunshine tomorrow than today but periods of cloudiness will still be seen during the afternoon. Temperatures will climb into the middle 60s. On Sunday, high pressure will be firmly in control and will produce mostly sunny skies and slightly milder temperatures.

On Monday, when that high shifts south, our region will begin to see even warmer temperatures. In fact, we are forecasting partly cloudy and warm weather all week with daily highs in the 70s.
