A trough of low pressure (See “U” shape offshore) is moving Eastward away from us. Weak high pressure will try to take over for a little warming, but another low will follow close behind it so don’t look for any dramatic changes in our weather patterns. A cold front will be moving through Saturday with another very weak one right behind it that might just slide down the coast..
