Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey’s First Warning Forecast

The bad news: We're tracking rain on the way and it will impact the weekend.
The good news: 80% (or more) of your weekend is looking dry!

The cold front that brought us wind and rain on Wednesday is going to move back our way as a warm front.

An area of low pressure over the Gulf of Mexico will ride along that front, bringing rain north.

Expect increasing clouds as we head through your Friday. We could see some spotty showers late in the afternoon.

But it looks like the wet weather will really start to fill in as we head late into Friday evening. So be prepared for widespread rain as we get closer to midnight.

It looks like the heaviest rain will arrive closer to daybreak on Saturday and most of us will wake up to soggy weather.
But the showers should be gone before noon. And the rest of the weekend is looking dry.


We're expecting high temperature in the low-to-mid 60s this weekend and through next week.

But much of next week will be soggy, with our best bet for rain on Wednesday and Thursday.
