More great weather today, still feeling like Summer as our afternoon highs will head for the mid 80s. It will remain pleasant and a bit cooler on Friday with highs in the upper 70s. Perfect weather for any and all outdoor plans!. WEEKEND FORECAST:. Unfortunately things start to go a...

Temperatures go from the 60s and low 70s this morning to the mid to low 80s this afternoon. A complex of heavy rain and storms to our west will weaken throughout the morning as it moves east. This will bring the chance for on and off showers and a few storms this afternoon. The greatest timeline has showers between 12 p.m. and 6 p.m. An isolated gusty storm is possible, but that threat remains very low.

A weak cold front is moving through the region now but it's a moisture starved boundary. It won't amount to much more than a wind switch and it most definitely will not be cooler. In fact, temps will be warmer than yesterday. With the help of the downsloping, WNW wind, highs surge back into the middle and upper 80s. That'll combine with plenty of sunshine and comfy dew points. Overnight, with the clear sky and light wind, temps dip back into the 50s. Clouds then increase little by little for our Friday, ahead of our next storm system. This could bring a stray shower or rumble later in the evening tomorrow, but the higher chances hold off until Saturday. It's going to be a dreary and damp kick-off the weekend. Hit or miss showers are on the table as a warm front tries to lift in. It doesn't succeed and we stay socked in with the clouds along with highs near 60. The slow-moving cold front continues to work eastward into Sunday with more widespread rain on the table. Highs once again will be cooler than average, only rising into the lower and middle 60s. In terms of the rain, totals look to top out around an inch, getting some more meaningful rain in the May bucket. Monday looks drier but it'll still be a little gloomy as our next disturbance moves our way. That'll make for more clouds than sunshine, but highs still look to rise back into the middle 70s. Enjoy the one day break from the wet weather because an unsettled stretch develops yet again. A parade of systems are in the forecast thanks to the NW flow aloft. Each day won't be a washout but we're expecting the chance for showers and storms from Tuesday through Friday. If you have outdoor plans, you'll want to stay tuned for our latest forecasts. Temperatures, despite the rain chances will remain above average, with highs topping out around 80 midweek.
