Saturday, with an area of high pressure overhead, we can expect sunshine to return to the area. High pressure is a large area of sinking air. As air sinks, it is compressed. As air compresses, it warms. As air warms, it dries out. As air dries, clouds have a difficulty forming.

With the sunshine, however, the temperatures will remain cool. This, as our "high" will provide northerly winds. On Sunday, our winds become southerly on the back-side of this area of high pressure. Warmer temperatures can be expected, along with the chance of late-day showers as the next storm system makes its approach.

In short, the start of your weekend will be so bright, you'll have to wear shades (like my daughter Elizabeth).
