Cloudy skies and chilly temperatures continue this afternoon. High

clearing out from NW to SE during the day Saturday in response.
As skies clear and winds become southerly, WAA will bring
daytime highs closer to average for this time of year. Inland
temperatures will generally be in the 60s through the weekend with
highs closer to 70 degrees along the coast. Lows for Saturday
night will be slightly warmer

A dry cold front will move through Sunday night and bring

will keep daytime highs in the 50s to near 60F on Monday. Another
