Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey's First Warning Forecast
It seems the weather is always a trade-off. After a cool start to the work week, temperatures are going to be heading up. As a matter fact, some of us may even touch the 70-degree mark on Wednesday.
However, the warmer weather comes with wetter weather.
A slow moving warm front will push into the region beginning on Tuesday. Ahead of that front clouds will increase along with our temperatures. We should top out in the mid 60s on Tuesday with mainly spotty showers in the afternoon.
The bulk of the rain, along with the warmest temperatures come on Wednesday
Most of us will wake up to a decent dose of rain and it should stick around for the first half of the day.
By Wednesday afternoon, the rain should move out, leaving the warmer temperatures behind for a little while. Most of us can expect high temperatures in the upper 60s.
Thursday will be another mild day with highs near 60°. There will still be plenty of clouds around, and a slight chance for a shower.
A cold front pushes in on Friday bringing another good chance for rain and then dropping temperatures
It looks like we will top out at a near normal 56° on Friday.
The coolest air returns for the weekend with highs in the upper 40s and lower 50s.
We expect partly cloudy skies both days this weekend, with a slight chance for showers on Sunday.
It looks like rain chances will be going up again on Monday.
Bottom line: keep that rain gear handy for at least the next week.
