Mostly Cloudy, Slightly Warmer

Light winds and clouds kept temperatures steady around 37 for most of the night. These clouds are associated with an upper air disturbance coming from the Rockies and will persist throughout the day. There will be very little moisture for this system to work with so I'm not expecting any chance of rain for our area. Forecasting the high this afternoon is somewhat tricky because any breaks in the clouds could easily boost temperatures into the upper 50s to near 60. At the same time, if the clouds do not break, we could actually remain in the mid 50s this afternoon. Judging by infrared satellite imagery, I'll forecast that a few breaks in the clouds will allow temperatures to top out around 57 this afternoon. Clouds should hang tough tonight as well and will keep temperatures even warmer overnight. Tomorrow morning's temperature will be around 42.
