Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey's First Warning Forecast

Wait! Is this right? A completely dry weekend? Yes, a rare dry weekend is looking likely.

It's not your imagination. We've had a lot of rain weekends so far in 2024. Of our 13 weekends, 11 have included at least some rain. That works out to 85% of our weekends so far.

And while we will see an increase in clouds on Saturday afternoon, we do expect to stay dry, with just a 10% chance for rain.

But Saturday will be a cool and breezy day, with highs only around 57°, which is about 10 degrees below normal.

The winds will be lighter and we'll be a few degrees warmer on Sunday. So the second half of the weekend is looking better for your outdoor plans.

Expect a warming trend as we move into the workweek, with afternoon highs in the 70s by midweek.

But we're also tracking a storm system that brings us increasing rain chances, as well.

Stay tuned.
