GENERAL OUTLOOK
A coastal low will drift offshore through mid week as dry and warmer high pressure builds in across the region. This will allow for a return of above normal temperatures through Wednesday. A backdoor cold front moves through the area Thursday bringing a brief cool down before temperatures warm again over the weekend. The next chance for rain may come on Sunday as an upper trough crosses our region.
