Mostly Cloudy, Isolated Showers

A few great things happened over the weekend in the weather department. We managed to pick up 2-4" of rain in many locations, we dodged the severe weather, and the rain and clouds kept temperatures rather pleasant. A weak cold frontal passage can also be attributed to the cooler temperatures and this front remains to our south this morning. It has generally lost its frontal characteristics, but this boundary should remain to our south today. A passing upper air disturbance may generate enough lift for some isolated showers to develop this afternoon, but don't expect a washout by any means. With mostly cloudy skies and the possibility of showers today, the high temperature will likely top out around 75 this afternoon. Skies will remain mostly cloudy tonight and the storm system responsible for the rain over the weekend will be well to our east. Slightly lower dew points are forecast to advect into the area tonight, but clouds will keep temperatures around 60 tomorrow morning. Fog is likely to develop tonight due to excess moisture near the surface and very low temperature/dew point spreads. Enjoy the cooler weather today because we'll warm up again by the weekend.
