Warming trend continues

Rain chances increasing late week

 

Clouds will continue to build through tonight, but temperatures stay on the warm side with lows in the upper 40s and 50s.

Tomorrow through Friday, we’re locked into a spring-like pattern. Expect a mix of sunshine and clouds each day as a front wobbles nearby. Even when clouds win out, highs should land in the upper 60s to low 70s. By Friday, some areas may jump even higher, with temperatures pushing into the mid to upper 70s. 

Rain chances slowly increase late in the week. A few hit-or-miss showers could pop up Thursday, but the better rain potential arrives late Friday as a cold front approaches. The most widespread rainfall looks to develop Friday night and continue into early Saturday.

Saturday morning is shaping up to be wet, and that’s where the forecast gets a little tricky. The big question is how quickly the rain moves out. Right now, the best chance for steady, possibly heavy rain bands appears overnight Friday into Saturday morning. Whether showers linger into Saturday afternoon or even Sunday is still uncertain.

Looking ahead to next week, the warmer air won’t stick around!
