Friday brings a noticeable shift as we transition away from the rain and toward a much nicer weekend.
Tomorrow shapes up to be the soggiest day of the week, with rain expected to impact us through the entire day. Rainfall totals will land between a half inch to an inch, which could slow things down during the morning drive. Afternoon temperatures won’t budge much, topping out in the lower 60s, so expect a cool, damp feel through the day.
Wednesday is really about to deliver! Temperatures climb a solid 10 to 15 degrees, landing us right around 60. We’ll juggle clouds and sunshine, but it’s going to be windy. Those gusts could push close to 30 mph. Enjoy the dry, mild weather while you can, because rain makes a comeback on Thursday.
By Tuesday, things start improving. We’ll wake up to a frosty start, but sunshine takes control quickly. With lighter winds and bright skies overhead, temperatures rebound into the upper 40s during the afternoon. It’s still cool, but compared to the morning, it’ll feel much more comfortable.
The weekend kicks off on a soggy note, with rain and a few storms possible early in the day Saturday. As the morning continues stronger activity shifts south, giving us a chance to squeeze in some afternoon sunshine.
That warm southerly wind is making everything feel very spring-like, along with pulling in moisture straight from the Gulf of Mexico. So while we’re enjoying record- warmth, we’re also keeping an eye on rain chances. Friday, starts off unusually warm with morning temperatures in the low 60s along with the possibility of a few showers or even an isolated storm. As we move toward late morning and early afternoon, sunshine should break through, helping temperatures climb near 80 degrees.
Thursday starts off a bit unsettled with a few spotty showers around, but patience pays off. Clouds should thin later in the day, giving way for sunshine to break through and help temperatures climb into the low 70s by the afternoon.
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.
Tuesday begins with a thick pockets of early morning fog before clouds thin enough to allow some sunshine. Afternoon temperatures will top out in the mid-60s, making for a comfortable day. Wednesday starts mild, with morning temperatures near 50 degrees.
After that chilly start, Saturday actually turns pretty nice. We’ll climb into the low 50s, which honestly feels pretty comfortable for a February evening. Clouds increase late, and rain moves in overnight. Valentine’s Day itself stays dry.
