It will be a bit cool with temperatures in the 50s slowly warming up to a high of 65 in the afternoon.

Upper level high pressure (Shaded “Arch” shape) will bring plenty of sunshine back, at least for your most of your workweek. Another upper low will bring the slight chance of showers back by Saturday night for the weekend. Today is ”Earth Day.” Celebrate our Earth by doing your best to help clean it up. Whether you believe in “Global Warming” or not doesn’t matter. If we all work together we can at the least make our planet more livable.
