Our sunrise was at 7am this morning and the sunset is at 7pm, making today the equilux: equal amounts of day and night and thanks to high pressure we had a full 12 hours of being able to see the sun! A few more clouds roll in tonight and temperatures will again fall into the mid-20s with a light northwest wind. A very weak disturbance passes to our southwest and could touch off a flurry there late tonight and into early Monday morning but most of us stay dry.

Monday will be the coldest day out of the week and that's saying something with a high temperature in the low 40s, seasonable for this time of year. There will be some clouds around but we'll still get to see the sun as it will not be overcast. Blue skies return on Tuesday with temps climbing into the mid-40s and the warming continues even with a storm system to our south on Wednesday. That will give us more clouds but the mercury will still climb into the upper 40s. Thursday begins our days in the 50s with sunshine and that will continue Friday and Saturday before a chance of rain rolls into Sunday's forecast with highs still in the 50s.
