FORECAST:
High pressure will dominate the weather today in a Northerly flow aloft. Sunny skies with warming temperatures as the day progresses. The freezing level will go much higher than the local peaks, with inversions for the next few days. A very weak trough slides down the coast on Thursday but we should only see some cloud spill over into the area. Still a slight chance we may see a flurry as the trough slides South. No real precipitation until possibly Sunday. Get out the sun screen, should be some awesome turns to be had today.
