Chance of Rain This Weekend

Good evening! We've been able to enjoy a pleasant week weather-wise, with calm conditions and sunny skies across the area. Temperatures have gradually climbed as the week progressed, with 87° coming in as our high earlier this afternoon. Temperatures will drop once again this weekend, but not without the chance of rain first.

Tonight, temperatures will drop into the low to mid-60s under mostly clear skies. A low pressure system with a trailing cold front will continue to push northeastward tonight and into the day tomorrow.

This will bring a chance for showers and storms beginning tomorrow afternoon, with storms becoming more isolated in nature during the overnight hours. Temperatures will hit the low to mid-80s before the front swings through, with winds shifting to the north and an overnight low of 60°.

As for Sunday, high pressure will take no time to build back into our region. This will allow for clearing skies and a return to pleasant weather. A chance for a shower or two may stick around for our southern counties, but most of us should enjoy a calm day with partly cloudy skies. Thanks to the cold front and surface winds from the north, temperatures will remain in the 70s to wrap up our weekend!
