A cold front will push south overnight into Monday. This will bring a few clouds and a slight chance for an isolated shower or storm on Monday. The front will push south and high pressure will wedge slightly cooler air in for Tuesday and Wednesday but still staying above normal with highs in the upper 80s inland to the mid 80s at the beaches.
