For the forecast expect clear skies with sunny and warm conditions today as the Northerly flow aloft continues with the upper level ridge presently in the area. Chance of some clouds forming tomorrow with the chance of light  precipitation in the afternoon. Sunny again for Wednesday then back to some clouds forming for Thursday. By next weekend it looks like we will be back into cooler temperatures with the chance of snow above 1000 meters.
