We're waking up to cloud cover and temperatures in the low to mid 40s this morning. There's also some light precipitation rapidly moving in from the west. Most of this is not reaching the ground because the air is so dry at the surface. However, there will be some cool clouds around today. Afternoon highs will struggle to get out of the mid to upper 50s.
Some clearing will take place overnight tonight allowing temperatures to fall back into the upper 30s to low 40s. More clouds will rapidly move in tomorrow morning with a chance for a few showers and even an isolated chilly thunderstorm. More than half of you will stay dry though.
