A Beautiful Warm Weekend Ahead after Showers on Thursday!

Week at a Glance:
Thursday: High 50, Low 37. Rain showers moving in by lunch time and continuing into Friday morning. Rain totals will remain less than .10". Chance of precipitation 70%. Winds light at 1-5 mph.

Friday: High, 53. Low, 37. Scattered rain showers ending by 10 am. Sunshine returns with a slight warm up. Chance of precipitation 20%. Winds at 5-10 mph. 

Saturday: High, 72, Low, 51. Mostly sunny with a warm up for the weekend. Chance of precipitation 10%. Winds at 10-15 mph.

Discussion:
Thursday will bring showers by Noon as a low pressure system passes to the south further enhanced by an upper level disturbance. Rain totals should be light and under .10". The highs for Thursday will be in the low 50's with lows in the mid-30's. Showers will continue off and on throughout the day into early Friday morning. Patchy fog could be a concern by around 1 am Friday morning but will quickly dissolve as the sun comes up. Friday will start out partly cloudy as remnants of the Thursday system move out to the east. Sunshine will move in by 10 am and remain mostly sunny as the day progresses. Highs are expected to be in the mid-50's with lows in the mid-30's. Saturday will bring a warm up as high pressure builds back in from the west brining temperatures into the 70's. Saturday will be mostly sunny with little chance of precipitation as an area of low pressure moves to the north. This system will cause a tightening in the pressure gradient and increasing winds Saturday from 10-15 mph. Lows Saturday are expected to be in the low-50's. A beautiful weekend ahead! Next chance of showers are on Sunday.
