Warmer back above normal of 62 degrees, sunshine, just a few clouds. Theres a cold front to the north and west but this front is going to skirt its way to our north and not push through on wednesday so a High Pressure to the south will keep the front to the north and even going into thursday, that front will lift farther to the north so 71 as we go back to the 70s middle of the week, a lot of sunshine and then low pressure and a cold front will come through to bring the chance for some storms thursday afternoon and evening. The exclusive accuweather 7day forecast, very nice to kick offer the new month tomorrow at 62. Milder and sunny wednesday, 71. Near records on thursday, much like yesterday, upper 70s and well watch for some of those downpours and gusty storms in the afternoon.
