CLOUDS ON THE INCREASE

It’s a comfortable setup with highs reaching into the 60s for most spots. If you’re along the immediate shoreline, expect it to stay a bit cooler, with temperatures holding in the 50s thanks to that onshore influence. Tree Pollen is high to very high.

Tonight, skies turn partly to mostly cloudy, but the good news is it stays dry. Sunset is 7:46pm. Overnight lows will settle into the 40s, so it’s a mild and quiet night across the area with no weather issues to worry about.

As we head into Wednesday, we’ll see a similar pattern play out. Some morning sunshine will give way to increasing clouds during the afternoon. High temperatures will once again hover around 60 degrees. Attention then turns to Wednesday night, when we begin tracking a round of wet weather that will carry into early Thursday.

Thursday looks unsettled with cloudy skies and scattered showers in the morning. Highs will be a bit cooler, topping out in the upper 50s to near 60. The good news is that this system moves out in time for a nicer finish to the week, with sunshine returning on Friday and temperatures rebounding into the upper 50s and lower 60s.

Today: Increasing clouds (Morning sunshine giving way to afternoon clouds), with a high near 64. Calm wind becoming southeast 5 to 10 mph in the afternoon. Sunset at 7:46pm.
