Tony Schumacher says:

The fog across the region should gradually dissipate as high pressure and drier air mix in from the north. If we get at least 4 or 5 hours of sun today, high temperatures should climb to the upper 30s. There could be some patchy fog reforming late Saturday night, but there is an even better chance of it clearing up quickly Sunday revealing lots of sun and unseasonably warm highs in the lower 40s. A cold front from Canada will pass through Monday without any precipitation. It will bring in noticeably colder air Monday night and Tuesday. Highs will only be in the lower 20s. A reinforcing cold front will slam in by Thursday morning and keep highs only in the 10s later in the week.
