Patchy fog will continue to burn off through the remainder of the morning and high pressure will maintain dry weather through early to mid afternoon. However, by late afternoon, an isolated shower or thunderstorm could develop as a sea breeze develops later in the day. Surface winds will primarily be southerly throughout the day, but begin to shift to more southwesterly by late afternoon and early evening as the sea breeze develops. Generally good dispersion values are expected today with high mixing heights as well. Chances of showers and thunderstorms will increase by mid to late evening as a cold front approaches from the north. The front will then push south of the area by Sunday morning with winds becoming northerly in the wake of the frontal passage for the remainder of the day. Mainly dry weather is expected as well, but there will be a small chance of a shower or thunderstorm by mid to late afternoon along a sea breeze boundary. .REST OF TODAY...
