FORECAST DISCUSSION:
Good Tuesday Evening,
It has been a beautiful day today, with temps near normal for this time of the year. With mostly clear skies tonight, and lighter winds, expect temps to fall to near freezing, or just below in most of the area. As we head into the day on Wednesday, temps will warm up a bit quicker into the upper 50s as clouds increase. Wednesday night into Thursday rain will return to the forecast.
Rain looks to be on and off through the day on a raw Thursday with highs near normal in the lower 50s. Rain showers will taper off Thursday night with lows well above normal. Friday skies will slowly start to clear, with lows a degree or two above normal in the middle 50s. Should make for good (dry) weather for Football Friday Nite. Expect clearings skies on Saturday with highs in the middle 50s.
We will climb to the upper 50s on Sunday with clouds increasing, and a chance of rain by late Sunday night into early Monday morning. Skies will break a bit on Monday with highs around 60, quite mild for this time of the year. Isolated showers will try to move back into the area by late day on Tuesday with highs remaining near 60 with a warm front lifting north.
