We continue to be in an active weather pattern as another system pushes in more clouds and some light scattered showers through tonight, the winds remain light and variable, tonight’s low temperature near 46.
With a stronger system expected tomorrow, we see an increase in shower coverage, but they continue to be mostly light in nature with only a tenth to a quarter of an inch of accumulation likely through tomorrow night. The afternoon winds become southerly 4-8, tomorrow’s high temperature up near 58, tomorrow night’s low near 48.
It looks like Saturday, we see more showers and with daytime heating, we also have a slight chance of afternoon thunderstorms into the evening hours, the winds becoming westerly 8-12 behind the front, the high temperature near 57. The threat of showers continues Saturday night though they become more scattered, lows near 45.
The shower activity becomes more widely scattered by Sunday morning as the front continues to push out of the area, and a ridge of high pressure starts building and moving towards the area bringing us a partly sunny and dry afternoon Sunday, the high temperature again near 57, and with mostly cloudy skies Sunday night, the low drops to near 43.
The models suggest we could see another weak disturbance for the start of next week, then they get mixed towards the middle of next week, some say warmer with more sun, some say cloudy and cooler.
