High pressure will strengthen today, pushing daytime highs into the upper 80s, while lows generally cool to the 50s, west winds 5-10 mpg at times. As this ridge weakens and shifts further east, additional moisture will be drawn into the area, bringing a better chance for mainly afternoon & evening showers and thunderstorms, especially Sunday into next week. This will also bring a gradual cooling trend as temperatures return to normal by the middle of next week!
