Unsettled with rain and showers, better later

Staying mixed for most of the week with sunny spells and some showers. Most showers in the east with some rain at first too. Higher pressure riding in the west will allow for fewer sowers here and then later in the forecast a tendency towards drier weather. Some warm days in the south, but cooler first in the showers north and east.
