Temperatures are going up...but so are rain chances
Thursday saw a nice blend of clouds and sun, with more sun east and more clouds west. Temperatures climbed nicely into the 70s for most folks! And the warmth will stick around for a while longer…but rain chances will accompany this warmth through the first part of the weekend.
Tonight: Partly cloudy and mild with lows in the upper 50s to near 60.
Friday: Partly sunny with pop-up showers/storms forming…very warm with highs in the lower 80s.
Friday evening will see rain diminishing…briefly. More rain (and a few storms) will move in Saturday morning. The highest rain chances on Saturday will lie from sunrise through about lunch-time before skies slowly clearing out in the afternoon. A stray shower or storm may move back in late in the day into the evening, but any coverage at this point looks isolated at best. Temperatures will remain above average, reaching the middle 70s. The winds will also be quite breezy (arguably windy) to start out the weekend with gusts up to 30 mph possible, especially in the mountains. The pick day to be outside this weekend will no doubt be Sunday. Mostly sunny skies are on tap and it will be quite pleasant with highs in the lower 70s. After a breezy day Saturday, the winds will settle down a bit to close out the weekend.
Next week will start with clouds thickening. Spotty showers are in the forecast by Monday afternoon. And it will be cooler with highs in the middle 60s. More clouds than sun are in the forecast for Tuesday with more hit-or-miss showers possible. It will be cooler still with highs falling into the upper 50s on both Tuesday and Wednesday. However, we will dry out and see more sunshine on Wednesday and Thursday. Temperatures will again climb into the 60s by next Thursday.
