Meteorologist Myles Henderson’s First Warning Forecast

Warmer with rain and storms moving in… We will start today with temperatures about 30 degrees warmer than yesterday morning, from near freezing to near 60. Highs will warm into the upper 60s to near 70 this afternoon. We are tracking a cold front that will bring us rain and a chance for storms. The best chance for rain will be mid-morning to midday with rain chances tapering off this afternoon. Winds will crank up again today with gusts to near 40 mph possible by midday.

Expect a nice mix of sun and clouds on Friday with an isolated shower possible. It will still be breezy with a slight cool down, highs in the upper 50s. A scattered shower is possible for Saturday morning but the majority of the weekend will be dry. The big headline for the weekend will be cold and windy. Expect highs in the low 50s and upper 40s. Winds will gust to near 40 mph on Saturday. Temperatures will climb back into the 70s next week.
