Keep those umbrellas handy, Sacramento. The National Weather Service is predicting more scattered showers in the region through Monday.

For today, expect mostly cloudy skies with a 30 percent chance of showers. Highs should hover around 58 degrees.

"A weak system is moving through for the weekend," said weather service forecaster Karl Swanberg. "Temperatures will be cooling a bit."

But there is good news on the horizon. The beginning of the work week looks dry, Swanberg said, as the system moves out of the region.

Here's the seven-day forecast:

Today: A 20 percent chance of showers. Partly sunny, with a high near 60. West wind 3 to 6 mph. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.

Sunday night: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 35. North-northwest wind 8 to 13 mph.

Monday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 56 North-northwest winds 8 to 11 mph.
