FOX 5 Weather forecast for Monday, January 4

Mike Thomas has the FOX 5 Weather forecast for Monday, January 4.

FOX 5's Gwen Tolbart says some of you may see some early patchy fog -- but for the most part it's sun and clouds with a few early day sunny breaks before more clouds move in this afternoon. Highs Monday close to seasonable in the low to mid-40s and light winds from the Northwest 5-10 mph.

No major warm-up expected this week but keeping a close eye on Friday as a coastal system could bring us some showers and/or a wintry mix. It's still too early to call but stay weather alert as the FOX 5 Weather Team continues to monitor it.

In the meantime most of the week is either mostly sunny or partly cloudy with a pretty calm weather pattern.
