Mostly Cloudy, Comfortable

Although most places around the county would consider yesterday's rainfall totals to be a disappointment, some places in the eastern part of the county received some decent rain. A second round of showers that formed earlier this morning along a cold front was responsible for this but is moving off to the east as we begin to dry out. The cold front will provide a reinforcing shot of drier air that will mainly be felt this evening. In the meantime, the forecast challenge today will be forecasting the dissipation of the stratus deck. Soundings suggest that these clouds will likely hold tough for much of the morning hours before breaking up early this afternoon. With this in mind, I'll forecast an afternoon high of 84. If the low clouds don't break up at all, we may only manage to reach the lower 80s, but if the clouds break up earlier than expected, we will be a few degrees warmer. It appears that skies become clear overnight, but a few areas of patchy fog could develop near sunrise. Still, with drier air in place, temperatures should be able to drop to 64.
