Umbrellas will be required for our big shopping day as scattered showers and storms remain in the forecast.  Activity will be possible at any point during the day with increasing coverage possible late Friday night into Saturday morning.  Although activity will be scattered in nature an inch or two of rain will be possible and there will also be the slight risk of some strong storms, especially during the afternoon and again overnight into very early Saturday morning.  The complex pattern won’t resolve itself until the latter part of the weekend.  Temperatures will remain quite mild tonight in the mid-60s with some sea fog possibly mixing in by morning.  Highs Friday should be in the mid-70s but should cool into the mid-upper 60s for Saturday.  Although the surface frontal boundary should push into the Gulf for Saturday morning another upper disturbance rolling out through the Rockies will allow for additional rains/shower activity for the latter part of Saturday into Saturday night.  Colder weather with mostly cloudy skies and drier conditions will move into the region for Sunday with highs closer to the upper 50s.  Colder conditions will drop in for Sunday night into Monday with freezes possible Monday and Tuesday mornings.  The models have been all over the place for the temperature forecast post-Sunday; temperatures will be dependent on cloud cover, winds etc so our lows could either be a few degrees colder or warmer, but again the bottom line is that will will feel like winter from Monday morning through Tuesday morning.
