Drying Up.

At this point, it looks like tonight's storm has backed off enough to saw there is a pretty good chance we won't see a tenth of an inch of rain.  Actually, a pretty good chance we see none at all.  What we will see for sure is a ton of wind.  It is kind of like spring turned on around 5PM today, as a high, but light, fog band moved in.  As that moves out int he morning, the north west winds are going to kick up pretty hard.  In fact, they are blowing still on the outer buoy and near shore at Long Marine Lab. We could see gust in excess of 30mph tomorrow afternoon.

Tomorrow will be a good deal cooler than today.  Highs on the west side ranged from 74F to 81F today.  We will be lucky to get out of the 60s on Monday.  A little fog cover early in the morning, and the brisk wind coming off the water all afternoon will keep it cool.  It looks the next system mid week will also be heading through north of us.  Well north in fact.  Sun should be dominate mid week, with the next chance for rain toward the end of the week. That one will likely only hit the north eastern part of the state, which is good news, as they still need some water up there.  Temps in the upper 60s, and maybe low 70s after tomorrow.  Breezy weather continues, but it looks like Tuesday will be the worst of it.  All in all, it will be a pretty darn nice week.  The hills are a blooming.

After this coming weekend, the high pressure really strengthens.  We could see a solid shift into spring like, and much dryer, weather.
