A disturbance over the Central Plains will travel into the Appalachians and and cross the region throughout the day on Friday. Right now, forecast models are trending drier for our hometowns. Although we still can’t rule out isolated to scattered showers, it appears many hometowns may stay dry through Friday with cloudy skies. High temperatures will only top out in the 40s.

Parades and holiday parties should be mostly dry. For Sunday it looks like spotty rain will be with us. High temperatures throughout the weekend will read in the 40s and low 50s.
