FORECAST DISCUSSION:
Happy Thursday!
Keep the rain gear handy today! We start the morning off with scattered shower activity, but it will become more widespread, and heavier, as we get into the afternoon. We will be looking at some decent rain totals from this system, with totals ranging from about 0.5" to 1" across the region. In addition to the rain, a few thunderstorms are expected as well. We'll still be mild, though, with highs in the middle 50s, and breezy conditions.
Showers then taper this evening, and clouds briefly break into parts of Friday. Highs drop back to the upper 40s Friday, and we will be fairly breezy. Clouds then return during the evening, as our next, quick system pushes in. This brings us a scattered wintry mix, and a few flurries overnight and into early Saturday morning.
Those flurries taper fairly early, then clouds gradually break. Saturday will be our coldest day of the extended, with highs only reaching the mid to upper 30s.
By Sunday, we rebound. We will be breezy, but highs warm back to the lower 50s with partly cloudy skies. We're looking at an isolated shower chance late Sunday, but a mainly dry day overall.
We start the workweek off on a mainly dry note Monday, before showers return Tuesday and Wednesday.
