More mostly cloudy skies with patchy sprinkles or light rain expected to continue as a weak low pressure system moves through the area. The chance for intermittent light rain continues through Saturday. Temperatures will begin warming from Saturday into Monday as dry weather returns.

This light shower and sprinkle activity can happen essentially anytime since the atmosphere is pretty loaded but better chance of showers is later Friday into early Saturday.

The offshore winds will cause temps to quickly rebound Sunday and Monday into the 70s and potentially the 80s in the area.

Temps look to plummet Tuesday with a trough sweeping the area and marine influence returning.
