The beautiful weather which settled into the area over the weekend will make a quick exit as the new week begins, as the high pressure responsible for the fair weather and sunshine is shunted out to sea. A frontal boundary will approach the area on Monday, slow down considerably through Tuesday, and then pass through the area by Wednesday. Showers will be likely during the majority of the day on Tuesday and Wednesday, and they may possibly end with some snowflakes very late Wednesday into Thursday morning. Clouds are already on the increase throughout the area this Monday morning, and they are expected to remain here through much of the day. The chance of showers increases beginning Monday Night. Temperatures will still be warm, until the front nears the area on Wednesday. Behind the front, cooler temperatures will rapidly work into the area. Although some snow flakes are possible away from the city to end the storm system on Wednesday Night/Thursday, no accumulations are expected. A few forecast models are showing the potential for a few slushy inches away from the city, but that remains an outlier solution at this time.

Tuesday: Cloudy with showers likely. High near 60.  South winds around 10 miles per hour.
