Weekend Wetness

After two great days of weather for most of the state with high temperatures in the 60s and 70s and clear skies we are looking at only one more day remaining. Friday highs should range from the upper 60s to lower 70s throughout the state, much like today. With southerly winds continuing, moisture should also slowing make a return into the state through Saturday. Friday night lows in the mid 40s to lower 50s are expected, with clouds on the increase through the night.

Weekend temperatures in the upper 50s to upper 60s from west to east on Saturday, with overnight lows in the 40s. Sunday's highs will be hampered by cloud cover and light rain, only making it into the 50s throughout. Overnight lows ranging from the mid 30s in the northwest to the lower 40s in the southeast. As mentioned, precipitation in the form of light to moderate rain is expected to begin on Saturday and continue through Sunday night in the eastern third of the state. Total precipitation amounts should range from a half-inch to an one and a half inches across the western and northern thirds of the state. A half-inch to an inch of precipitation is possible across the remainder of the state. As usual, some areas may see slightly less or more dependent upon the location of heavier showers.

We'll get out of the rain for the beginning of the work-week, with temperatures moderating throughout the week according to the latest forecasts. Our next big chance of precipitation after this weekend looks to come into shape for the following weekend...
