Possibility of some isolated showers later today into this evening as a shortwave trough pushes through.  Tuesday looks like it will be sunny in the morning as a weak upper level ridge moves through with cloud development in the afternoon for unsettled conditions into Wednesday. Upper level ridge will begin to build on Wednesday night, there is a chance of some lingering cloud on Thursday but the ridge may push the cloud out with sunny conditions into the weekend.
