Tracking more rain and storms in your forecast….Stay weather aware over the next few days. We’re tracking more unsettled weather, with rain and storms, even into the weekend.
As we move through this Wednesday evening, a few scattered showers are possible as a frontal system remains offshore and an area of low pressure approaches from the northwest. Otherwise, expect mostly cloudy skies. Low temperatures will be in the mid 50s.
On Thursday, low pressure will spin over the area, giving way to scattered showers and possibly a few thunderstorms. On Friday, the low will continue to impact us with a chance of rain. Otherwise, we’ll see mostly cloudy skies. Some peaks of sun will be possible. High temperatures on Thursday will be in the mid 60s. Temps will climb into the upper 60s by Friday.
Right now, Mother’s Day weekend is not looking like a complete washout. However, a few showers are possible on Saturday as low pressure remains just offshore. On Sunday, we will likely see a little more sun. We’ll keep an eye on the forecast for you. Highs will be in the 70s on Saturday and near 80 on Sunday.
