4 things to know about the weather:
- Few Showers Later Today
- Dry, Breezy Saturday
- Cloudy, Cool Sunday

The clouds came back overnight and there will be precious little sunshine today. The added clouds will keep most areas in the mid-60s and chances for light rain and sprinkles increases for the afternoon and evening hours.
A weather front will come through overnight and bring an end to any rain chances just before sunrise Saturday morning. After a cloudy and damp start, sunshine will begin to return by 9-10 a.m. and the afternoon will be sunny, breezy and mild with highs near 70°.

Saturday will be the better half of the weekend. A storm passing to our south on Sunday will not be close enough to deliver rain, but it will be close enough to turn our skies cloudy. Clouds will once again lead to afternoon highs staying in the low 60s.
That storm will be out to sea by Monday morning so sunshine returns for Monday and Tuesday with highs back near 70°.
As it looks now, our next chance for some beneficial rain won't arrive until the end of next week.
Pollen levels will remain high all next week and spring gardens will need to be watered… by you.
