A cooling trend and weekend storms… The cold front that brought us the rain and storms last night is stalling just to our south. We should see clearing skies today with just a slim chance for a leftover shower. It will be a step cooler today with highs in the mid 80s. Rain and storm chances will increase for the weekend as an area of low pressure slides up the stalled fronts toward the Mid-Atlantic.
Expect showers and storms especially for Saturday afternoon and evening. Storms could be strong to severe. A few showers will linger into Sunday with some clearing by the afternoon. Highs will slip into the lower 80s on Saturday and upper 70s on Sunday. Expect more sunshine and cool temperatures for most of next week.
Today: Clearing Skies, Isolated Showers(20%). Highs in the mid 80s. Winds: NW/N 5-10
Tonight: Partly Cloudy. Lows in the low 70s. Winds: N/S 5-10
Tomorrow: Partly Sunny, Scattered Showers/Storms(60%). Highs in the mid 80s. Winds: S 5-10
