The Saturday Briefing — Very Nice Weekend; Rain Chances by Midweek

Following a chilly morning, today will see a gradual warming trend under clear, sunny skies. Some wispy cirrus clouds may drift by, constituting the extent of cloud cover. Afternoon temperatures will range from the upper 70s to lower 80s. Tonight, expect clear conditions with light winds and overnight lows settling in the upper 40s to lower 50s.

Sunday’s weather will closely mirror today’s with predominantly sunny conditions and only a few cirrus clouds. A shift in wind direction to the southwest will lead to increased temperatures and humidity, resulting in highs ranging from the upper 70s to mid 80s.

Beginning the work week, a dominant ridge pattern will influence our weather on Monday, offering a sun-filled day with highs in the lower to mid 80s.

Tuesday heralds the approach of a cold front from the west, introducing cloud cover during the day. By late evening into the overnight period, scattered showers and thunderstorms may develop primarily over northern and north-central areas, with highs in the upper 70s to mid 80s.

Wednesday will continue to feature scattered showers and thunderstorms, particularly in the northern half of the region, as the front remains positioned to our north and northwest. High temperatures will range from the upper 70s to mid 80s.

The gradual advance of the cold front on Thursday will see diminishing moisture, leading to a decrease in rain chances throughout the day. While much of the afternoon is expected to be dry, a secondary trough will usher in another front during the evening, bringing a chance of scattered showers. Highs will range from the lower to mid 80s.

By Friday, as the front progresses through the area, cooler temperatures will become noticeable. Limited moisture accompanying this front will result in a minimal chance of isolated to scattered showers. Highs on Friday are anticipated to reach the upper 60s to upper 70s.
