Summary: It should be a quiet weekend weatherwise as surface high pressure builds in behind last nights cold front. There should be considerable sunshine both days with pleasant and more seasonably cool temperatures and much lower humidity than the past few days. A cool front will pass through late Sunday night into Monday morning with only a few scattered showers (no repeat of our recent bouts of thunderstorms) as the front is relatively weak and it will be lifting relatively stable cool, dry air. Another surface high pressure system will build over the region behind this frontal passage and dominate our weather for a good part of next week. As a result, the week should feature dry conditions with seasonable temperatures, with daytime high temperatures mostly in the 60s.

Mostly cloudy this evening with some lingering scattered light showers and sprinkles. Partial clearing after midnight. Probability of precipitation this evening 20%.
