Skies remain partly cloudy through the overnight hours. Temperatures will be mild as lows fall into the low to middle 60s.

An onshore flow will help to keep spotty shower chances in the forecast tomorrow and into the holiday weekend.

For Easter Sunday, the data points to a dry morning for Easter egg hunting plans. However, building moisture out ahead of a cold front next week is set to bring the chance of Sunday afternoon isolated scattered showers and a few storms.

A pattern change early next week will arrive with the aforementioned cold front. This will help increase shower and storm chances for early parts of next week along with a dip in temperatures as highs return to the 70s.
