For the forecast, the upper level low to the South is moving Eastward and we should see a nice day with mainly sunny skies as a high pressure builds into Wednesday with an associated Northerly flow. Another weak frontal system is forecasted to move in for Thursday evening into Friday with unsettled weather. Thursday evening looks to be the wettest period. Another ridge of high pressure should bring a nice dry weekend with warmer temperatures. Saturday could be unsettled with more sun by Sunday. Models are in disagreement as to the amount of moisture moving our way for Thursday and Friday.

    As of 06:30 this am, low level cloud should rise and dissipate.

    Upper level low will move East today allowing for the ridge of high pressure into our zone.
