---FRIDAY'S WEATHER---

Dense fog blanketed the area this morning thanks to lots of moisture from this week's rainfall and light winds. The sun is out now though, and it should help warm temperatures and improve moods all across our area this afternoon. Look for highs to rise into the low 50's by midday.

---THE FORECAST---

High pressure will help keep a fair amount of sunshine in the forecast through the weekend. Despite a few more clouds, temperatures should continue to rise, pushing highs into the mid to upper 50's. This may be your last shot to do some grilling before having to pack up for the winter.

Our next chance of rain will come Monday night as a low pressure system moves in from the west. This will bring showers overnight and into Tuesday. As this system starts to move out on Wednesday morning temperatures will plunge near freezing.

The combination of the cold weather and lingering moisture could bring about a few snow flurries, but don't expect any accumulation.

---6 TO 10 DAY OUTLOOK---

For November 24-28: Expect temperatures to be near average while precipitation is expected to be slightly above average during this period.
