THIS WEEK, IT STARTS LIKE MAY, WITH A SWITCH TO MARCH

1. Today and Monday: Areas nearest to the shore will be 5-10 degrees cooler than inland sections. So far though, weekend temps have been generally warmer than anticipated on the coastal plain, with very good verification being observed inland and in the city.

2. Dry, but overcast Monday. Fog and cloud potential will increase tonight into tomorrow as the content of the moisture of the air increases.  The cool Atlantic Ocean will also aid in fog formation in the evenings for tonight and again tomorrow night for southern and eastern sections nearest to the shore.
