Partly Cloudy, Slightly Warmer

We can say goodbye to the trough that influenced our weather for the last few days and welcome the ridge that will replace it for a for more days. This will allow our "cool" air mass to modify and warm up beginning today. The only fly in the ointment is a small upper level low located within this ridge, which will allow for a more widespread coverage of afternoon cumulus today and should keep temperatures somewhat in check. We'll continue below normal in the temperature department for one more day as highs will top out near 86 this afternoon. Other than a few patchy clouds, skies should remain mostly clear this evening with temperatures dropping to near 65 tomorrow morning. If this fall like air mass spoiled you, you'll like the feel of the temperatures late this weekend and the start of next week!
