Cloudy but Drier

All of the rain has exited to our south and east this morning, and we should go a full 24 hours without seeing rain! The frontal system and upper level disturbance associated with the rain last night will completely clear the area by later this morning. As it does so, winds will veer to the northwest and some slightly drier air will filter into the area. Cloud cover will be stubborn to break up much today, but there is a very small chance we could see one or two breaks in the clouds later this afternoon. Highs will top out near 75 this afternoon. Fog will likely develop tonight, so use caution if you're headed to work or school early tomorrow morning. Lows will drop to 63 tomorrow morning. This weekend still looks a little chilly as a strong upper air trough digs into the Southeast. Saturday will be the coldest day as strong cold air advection dominates and a persistent stratus deck will be tough to break up. Highs may only reach the mid 50s, and lows could dip into the upper 30s. A quick warming trend will begin by early next week as an upper ridge builds over the region.
