Drizzle chances linger, Monday May 4th forecast

Heavy cloud cover started the day along with cool temperatures. Fortunately most areas did see some clearing from time to time which made for a mostly nice day. We still have a late season area of low pressure moving in to California just to the north of us. This means we will likely see more clouds building for the overnight and drizzle or light rain can't be completely ruled out. If any rainfall does occur, totals will stay well below a tenth of an inch. 

Looking ahead, a late season storm system will make a run at the West Coast through late Sunday and in to the new work week. The system is moisture starved as is the normal for this of year. However, with the deep marine layer in place, there could be a few light showers or drizzle as the low stirs things up. If any measurable rainfall occurs, it would most likely be less than a tenth of an inch on the high end. Temperatures will fall through early next week with the heavy cloud cover. Look for highs to be most;y in the low to mid 60's through Monday with some warming for Tuesday and Wednesday. As the system pushes farther east, northwesterly winds will kick up and bring more sunshine and warming as we move toward the end of the work week and in to next weekend. Temperatures by next Friday could be very warm with some inland areas possibly reaching in to the upper 80's and 90's.
