THE WEEK AHEAD: MILD EAST, COOL WEST

1. The folly of MLB early season scheduling will be on display yet again this week. Just as the Yankees were postponed due to cold in Cleveland this past week, the Mets will endure the same fate; at least two games in Denver will be snowed out this week!

2. On our side of the coin, it's mild and dry through late week! The coastal areas will feel a cool breeze in the afternoons.

3. Pretty decent chances for early morning fog starting on Tuesday and increasing in coverage and thickness for Wednesday and Thursday mornings. Dense fog a good bet Thursday morning; this may have trouble burning off, so that temps could run a few degrees cooler than forecasted near the coast.

4. Friday: High probability of widespread rainfall and thunderstorms at night, as moist southerly flow meets an incoming cold front. Potential is greater for heavy downpours than that of severe weather at this time, but it needs to be watched. Clearing for the weekend. Temps will be near 60, with leftover clouds eventually being scoured out Saturday morning.

5. Cooler next week, with a chance of another storm around the 24th.

6. The Cicada invasion may start anew this summer! Beware!
