DISCUSSION
Our upper-atmosphere has stabilized, effectively suppressing rainfall chances for the next couple of days. . Southerly winds will gradually bring low-level moisture back into the area through Saturday, so we should see warmer than normal temperatures and increasing humidity levels. A weak cool front may reach the coast early on Sunday bringing slightly lower temperatures. There will be a slight chance of rain ahead and along the front, however, the best chances for rain will be off to our north because of the stable "cap" in the atmosphere over our area.
