Some Showers

A weak wave of energy off to our north, combined with trough of low pressure, allowed for some showers to move into the state this morning. These showers have continued to stick around into the afternoon hours over portions of the state. A large area of cloud cover has accompanied these showers, leaving some areas lingering around the 70-mark for temperatures through the early afternoon. While others in the sunshine have rose nicely into the 80s under their sunny skies. Expect a few showers to linger here and there over the state, but sun should be on its' way for a majority of the state this evening as the weak wave and energy move beyond the state. Highs as mentioned should range from the mid 70s to the mid 80s dependent upon the amount of sun/clouds your area receives.

Lows tonight should range from the upper 50s to lower 60s, under partly cloudy skies. Highs tomorrow under these same partly cloudy skies should reach the lower to mid 80s, northerly 5-15 mph winds. Mid 50s to near 60 for lows on Thursday night; with highs on Friday reaching into the 80s throughout the state. Friday night lows in the mid 50s to lower 60s over the state, as winds slowly shift back to the south/southeast by the weekend. This change to southerly winds will increase the moisture, just in time for the next system to work into the forecast for Saturday night into next week.
