Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey's First Warning Forecast
We enjoyed an extra helping of sunshine on this Thanksgiving, but it looks like rain is on the menu for Black Friday.
A cold front will help usher in a batch of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico.
Our best bet for rain will be during the first part of the day with showers tapering off in the afternoon. A rumble of thunder or two is possible, but we are not expecting an outbreak of severe weather.
Behind the cold front that will bring us rain, skies will clear and temperatures will drop a bit on Saturday.
Expect mostly sunny skies and high temperatures in the mid 50s. That’s a few degrees below normal for this time of the year.
Temperatures warm up for the second half of the weekend, but our rain chances will also head up.
It looks like showers will move in by mid morning on Sunday and start to taper off by late in the afternoon. Expect high temperatures in the mid 60s.
The weather is looking great as we head back to work on Monday, with plenty of sunshine and high temperatures in the lower 60s.
It will be about 5° cooler on Tuesday and clouds will start to increase by the afternoon ahead of our next rainmaker, another cold front.
Wednesday brings showers but also significantly warmer weather. Some of us may touch the 70° mark, despite the wet weather.
Behind the cold front that brings us rain, temperatures will be dropping for the first day of December. We expect high temperatures in the low-to-mid 50s, which is a few degrees below normal.
