But High Pressure is our story for next few days, so that will build in here, keep things pretty tame and we will have the opportunity to warm up as core of that high moves out to sea. So what that means is that we will warm things up in the days ahead although through the weekend there is a new storm system coming. Always a trade off, never fails it seems but we will see some rain coming this weekend and that will take place specifically on sunday. So saturday is absolutely dryer of the two weekend days if you have outdoor plans to get in would i schedule them around that but dont be shocked if you saw a late day rain shower north of the city by that point. So yeah pretty mild weekend but then cooling right back down again. Rain comes in courtesy of the cold front passage and we are held back to the 30s again, yes.
