Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey’s First Warning Forecast
Dry weekends have been in short supply so far this year. And while there is a slight chance for rain on Saturday, it does look like our weekend should be mainly dry and milder.
The cool, gusty winds we've had over the past few days should subside heading into Saturday. And while temperatures will stay below normal, it will be significantly warmer than Thursday and Friday. We'll top out in the mid-to-upper 60s.
However, a warm front to our southwest will usher in more cloud cover. We'll end up with a mix of clouds and sunshine.
That warm front will cross the region Saturday night, sending temperatures higher on Sunday.
We'll climb into the upper 70s on average in the seven cities. And many inland spots will make it up to 80 degrees. Bonus: clouds will clear and we'll enjoy more sunshine for the second half of the weekend.
The warm up really kicks into high gear heading into the workweek. We'll top out in the mid 80s on Monday and Tuesday.
Some changes start to move in toward midweek. We'll have slight rain chances on Wednesday and Thursday with some storms possible by the end of the workweek.
