It was a chilly Saturday as high temperatures only reached back into the 20s under the influence of high pressure. But the milder trends will return next week, with a few more days reaching near or above 40 degrees.
Cloud cover could have a significant impact on the temperatures each day though. At the moment, cloud coverage Monday and Tuesday is expected to be around 70-80%, which would be considered a mostly cloudy sky. If clouds remain thicker around 90-100%, the potential high temperature may not quite be reached. An overcast sky can result in a 5° difference in temperature compared to even just a few breaks in the clouds.
At the moment, our forecast leans for a few breaks in the clouds which would promote highs in the low 40s Monday and Tuesday. But if clouds do not end up breaking at all, we could be limited to the upper 30s each day.
This milder pattern does not come with many precipitation chances. We could see a few spotty sprinkles or light rain showers Monday night into early Tuesday, but the large majority of the area should remain dry through Wednesday. A more active pattern will begin to develop late next week, bringing more favorable chances for precipitation, including a wintry mix.
