Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey's First Warning Forecast
The storm system that brought Wednesday's showers and storms will continue to impact our weather as we head into the weekend.
The cold front that sparked showers and storms has moved on, sending temperatures tumbling.
Most of us dropped more than 15 degrees between Wednesday and Thursday. And it looks like the sharply cooler weather will stick around through the weekend.
Expect high temperatures in the mid-to-upper 50s. Our normal high for this time of the year is around 66°.
It's also going to be breezy and we'll see clouds coming and going, courtesy of that same storm system.
So, while the main cold front has moved through, we'll see several more mini cold fronts cross the region. These are called troughs of low pressure and are sort of like spokes on a wheel that move around an area of low pressure.
As each of these troughs move through, we'll see the winds pick up, the clouds increase and our rain chances go up slightly.
But overall, we expect to stay dry through the weekend and into next week. Rain chances will start to rise, along with our temperatures in the later parts of the next workweek.
