We may see slight improvement in the weather later today in the form of breaks in the clouds as a bit of dry air tries to move in from the north, but the next low pressure is not far behind and will thicken the clouds back up tonight. This low is destined to take a track further north, passing north of the region during Wednesday while a secondary low tries to form near or just south of the region before the entire system pushes offshore at night. This will allow high pressure to build in with nice weather on Thursday after additional unsettled weather during Wednesday. I&#8217;ve been eyeing the situation for late week with the potential for impact from yet another storm system. The guidance has been fairly consistent over several runs in trending this system weaker and further southeast &#8211; something we have seen a lot of over the last couple months with guidance forecasts of a system as we get closer to it. Most of the time this has worked out and I see no reason to turn my back on it this time. So while I do think we will be somewhat unsettled again Friday, I don&#8217;t expect a significant storm system. This low will start to intensify as it pulls away Saturday, which should be a mostly dry but rather blustery and cool spring day as it stands now&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TODAY: Overcast with periods of rain and areas of fog in the morning.
