High pressure continues to build into the region this Thursday morning, as the low pressure responsible for the rather unsettled weather early this week continues to lose it's grip on the region. This area of low pressure, in fact, has drifted southward a bit over the last day or so instead of moving northeast, the direction storms typically go after impacting our area. Regardless, higher pressures are building in, and will make their mark on the area's weather throughout the weekend. The modifying airmass will allow temperatures to build into the mid and upper 50's for highs, and eventually into the lower 60's for highs by the weekend. It is currently shaping up to be a terrific weekend for outdoor activities and plans. With the benign weather, why not take a shot at stargazing? The great visibility, and the proximity of the upcoming Leonids meteor shower (Nov 17) could line up to create a memorable evening.

Today (Thursday): Mostly sunny and warmer than yesterday, with high's in the upper 50's. Winds still a bit breezy, but much more calm, out of the north at 5 to 10 miles per hour.


Tonight (Thursday Night): Mostly clear, and cold with low temperatures in the upper 30's in the city, and lower 30's inland. Winds north at 5 to 10 miles per hour.


Friday: Mostly sunny, with high temperatures nearing 60 in many locations. Winds light and out of the north at 5 to 10 miles per hour.
