thursday will get a little bit cloudier. chance of a shower very slight tomorrow. by friday that low will be deepening and there's a chance of a couple more showers popping in. i think this low is going to be far enough away from us though where the impact is pretty minimal and that would be just some real spotty precipitation around. your exclusive accuweather seven days, nice and warm today. no problems with any precip. 76 is going to be your high. tomorrow clouds with some sunny breaks a high of 70. mainly dry. and then friday breezy conditions and here's where we really see a change in the forecast. with that low off the coast and cool air zooming in off that cool ocean water, we'll only get a high of about 59. so, those cool conditions that we felt for a lot of the spring haven't totally gone away. for one day we're going to feel it again and again a shower is possible here or there on friday especially down the coast but on saturday that storm's gone. we recover to 68 in the afternoon, partly sunny skies. it will be a good looking day. the union home at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. that game televised right here on 6abc and that will be great weather if you're headed to
