A few isolated lingering showers are possible over the coastal waters through the mid morning hours, otherwise clearing skies can be expected.  High pressure will produce clear skies this evening through Sunday.  As the high pressure slides east on Sunday night, a few clouds can be expected, but dry conditions will prevail.  Few to scattered clouds can be expected on Monday morning.  A weak disturbance will produce the potential for scattered showers and thunderstorms on Monday afternoon, otherwise partly cloudy skies are expected.

Winds will be from the west around 5 to 15 mph through this afternoon and into tonight.  On Sunday, winds will back from the west to southwest around 5 to 15 mph and remain from the southwest through Sunday afternoon.  Winds will become light and variable on Sunday night and then veer to the south by Monday morning around 5 to 10 mph.
