few days. tomorrow night clouds will decrease, but with a light wind we will have the chance for some patchy fog as we head lateetomorrow night into early monday morning, so do be aware of that for your monday morning commute. here ii a look at thh future track rainfall forecast. we'll see many places coming in with a few hundredths of an inch of rain, with some areas seeing around a tenth of an inch, so it's going to be a
