Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey's First Warning Forecast

After a rotten week of weather, we deserve sunshine and warmer weather. And we’re going to get it. At least for a few days.

While you are sleeping, the skies will clear and most of us will wake up to plenty of sunshine on Thursday morning. We could see a few lingering clouds along the coast. But by afternoon just about all of us will have blue skies and sunshine and that will help warm things up into the mid 70s.

Even warmer weather arrives for the end of the work week. We expect plenty of sunshine on Friday with highs in the upper 70s and the lower 80s.

But by late in the day though we will start to see a few clouds work their way into our skies. The first hints of back-to-back cold fronts that will send the temperatures plummeting for the weekend.

While these cold fronts will bring us clouds, there’s only a small chance that they will bring us any rain. But we will wake up to plenty of clouds on Saturday morning, which should clear out by the afternoon.

With those cold fronts, it will be breezy and sharply cooler with highs only in the lower 60s on Saturday.

The winds die down and the temperature should warm into the mid 60s on Sunday with plenty of sunshine. So Sunday is looking like our pick weather day for any outdoor activities this weekend.

That warming trend continues as we head into the weekend expect highs in the upper 60s and the lower 70s through mid week.
