follow us on social media and also, look at the bottom of your screen. tonight, overcast skies, muggy with south westerlies, increasing the dew points, a little soupy, and tomorrow, overcast skies, notice the cloud deck getting lower and the threat of widespread rain showers. so the weathermaker out west worksing its way towards the east locally, already notice the greens, denoting showers working their way northward. south to north, i don't expect to be a wash-out, for today, just not going to be a sunny day in the forecast. i'm going to go with mostly cloudy skies with a couple of breaks in the clouds for some sunshine earlier in the day. current wind profile, a little variable, so some northerly, some westerly and we're starting to is he a shift, and of course everything moving southwesterly and a kick up in the dew points as well. right now, 50s and 60s, topping out in the 80s today. yesterday, 80, and highest gusts, 30 miles per hour. lows tonight, 60s, 70s. that's because we have the southwesterly warmer air and thick, soupy clouds keeping the warmer air in place. futurecast, getting started at about 5:30, we are geoing to ge this in motion, you're going to see some spotty shower, not much. but by tomorrow, the introduction of heavier showers move in. the only saving grace i would say this. it looks like models are favoring that some of the rain may stay to the north, so it looks like we may get a couple of breaks in those showers. notice by about tomorrow afternoon into early evening, we see a little break, otherwise, it is all about tracking these
