to light rain. Rain moves east of the area by around sunrise,
then dry and sunnier conditions prevail today.
High pressure settles over the region Friday, the slides
offshore over the weekend. Dry conditions and seasonable
temperatures are expected. A series of upper level low pressure
systems pass nearby. The northern stream upper level low will
drop a reinforcing (and dry) cold front through region early on
