looks like this. first we deal with this other one. it gets out to sea by tomorrow, then here's that northern one. it swings through on tuesday. there's not going to be a whole lot to the but maybe some additional clouds and the slightest chance of a shower but most of the day looks to be dry. after that, another warm-up. so the forecast looks like this. tonight any showers that are out there will be dying down overnight. 60 degrees for our low. then tomorrow we get up to 85 degrees as more sunshine is around. we still happening on to 85 on tuesday with that northern storm passing. then what's going to happen in this time frame here is a warm front just off to our south is going to keep us in the low 80s, but as soon as it passes us friday into saturday we will see a warming trend for the weekend. add dap. itard to breathe.
