.DISCUSSION...
High pressure builds over the weekend for less gusty winds and
rain-free conditions. A trend towards more seasonable
temperatures Sunday will then give way to a warmup through Tuesday
before a largely moisture-starved cold front brings temperatures
back to normal Wednesday with some slightly unsettled weather
possible thereafter.

Fog potential for tonight is None.
