Sunday forecast
Heading into the end of the weekend on Sunday, high pressure will continue to control the forecast as it moves off to the east.

Expect temperatures to warm into the upper 40s with that sunshine continuing throughout the day.

This frontal boundary will not have a lot of moisture to work with, so we are not expecting any rain or snow. We will expect an increase in cloud cover overnight Sunday night into early Monday morning.
As that frontal boundary rolls off to the east, we will see decreasing cloud cover late Monday morning and afternoon bringing more sunshine into the region. High temperatures heading for the upper 40s by Monday afternoon.
Sunshine continues into the first part of Tuesday before the clouds increase Tuesday afternoon and evening.
Rain is set to move into the region by late Tuesday night. High temperatures heading for the upper 40s by Tuesday afternoon, and only dropping into the lower 40s by Tuesday night thanks to that cloud cover and breezy winds moving into the region.
