Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey’s First Warning Forecast
I come to you with some good weather news as we head into the weekend: it looks like we will see quite a bit of sunshine on Saturday.
But the sunshine won’t do a whole lot to warm us up. We will kick off the weekend with temperatures mainly in the 30s on Saturday morning.
By the afternoon we only climb into the lower 50s under a mix of clouds in sunshine.
Those clouds thicken up Saturday night and into Sunday. The second half of the weekend will be mostly cloudy. And we may see a spotty shower or two on Sunday. But it looks like most of us will be dry for most of the day.
Expect high temperatures a few degrees warmer on Sunday, in the mid 50s.
But cooler air returns as we head into the work week. Expect partly cloudy skies and highs in the mid-to-upper 40s on Monday and Tuesday.
Wednesday will start with partly cloudy skies, but the clouds will increase through the afternoon and evening. And we could see a stray shower Wednesday night.
But our main rain maker, a cold front, arrives on Thursday, bringing a chance for widespread rain through much of the day.
Of course, I always say that weather is a trade-off. So Thursday will also be our warmest day with high temperatures near 57°, which is a few degrees warmer than normal.
Behind that cold front things cool off again as we head into Friday. We expect clearing skies and high temperatures back in the upper 40s.
