Today (Thursday): A few clouds may linger early, the remnants of a strong cold front that blew through overnight. Gusts from the north quickly clear skies and hopefully even push out the pesky haze of recent days. Highs only reach the upper 60s to lower 70s, so dress appropriately. Confidence: High
Tonight: Clear skies and easing winds lead to a cool night with lows falling into the mid to upper 40s (lower 50s in the center). Confidence: High

Cloudy and windy conditions are a safe bet Sunday. Less certain are showers that gradually spread from south to north over the area.
