CLOUDY AND DAMP AT TIMES THIS WEEKEND

Spotty showers remain throughout the day on Saturday. Some spots will stay dry to start the weekend, but cloudy skies will hold tight thanks to an approaching front. This front will also bring breezy conditions Saturday afternoon where gusts could reach 25+ MPH.

As the front heads closer to us, we can expect a few more showers on Sunday with the opportunity for some heavy pockets of rain at times. We aren’t calling for a complete washout as showers will come and go at times, but have the umbrella handy! The better chance to see rain on Sunday would be during the first half of the day.

The rain showers won’t impact our temperatures though! The above normal temperature trend will continue during this weekend as upper-level ridging takes place. Highs will read in the low 70s for most which is a good 5-10° above average for the region. These warmer temperatures also continue to start off next week!

THE TROPICS

The National Hurricane Center has their eyes on two systems out in the Atlantic. The area shaded in yellow does not have a high chance for cyclone formation. The one in orange may have a better chance to become a named storm within the next 5 days. We will continue to monitor the evolvement of these systems.
