COMING UP, CHRIS LAMBERT HAS A LOOK AT YOUR FORECAST
HERE'S A LIVE LOOK AT THE RADAR.
Return to index of stories...
Despite the sun struggling to get through the clouds, temperatures this afternoon have managed to make it near the 80 degree mark. With high humidity in place, we'll continue to feel warm and muggy into the early evening hours. A brief shower is possible in isolated locations, but many of us end the day dry.
Another round of low clouds and patchy fog sets in tonight, although with a bit of a breeze out there, fog may not be quite as dense or widespread as it was last night. Temperatures tonight remain mild, in the mid 60s on average.
There's not much of a change from today to tomorrow and that means Sunday features another cloudy start with patchy fog, and an isolated shower. The best chance to catch some sunny breaks once again comes in the afternoon as highs head toward 80s. The breeze does pick up out of the south around 15 mph in the afternoon and that southerly breeze holds afternoon temperatures in the 70s along the coast.
Monday, the next front comes through with showers and storms, leading us to mostly sunny skies, lower humidity and cooler temperatures by Tuesday. Monday's highs reach the mid 70s and then drop back to the low 70s Tuesday and Wednesday with overnight lows falling back into the 40s for Tuesday and Wednesday morning.
