Friday evening video forecast

Once showers and thunderstorms move through overnight, a weekend of pleasant weather is expected. If you like dry air, get out and enjoy Saturday and Sunday. We all know that humidity is right around the corner.

Tonight & Tomorrow: As a cold front approaches Friday evening, a second line of showers and thunderstorms is anticipated between 7pm – 1am. Any thunderstorms could produce downpours and gusty wind, though widespread impacts are not expected. Clearing is expected late, and winds will turn around to the northwest at 10-15mph allowing lows to drop into the mid 50s by dawn. Saturday will start on a fine note with ample sunshine. A northwest breeze of 10-15mph will provide a dry, comfortable air mass with highs making it into the upper 70s.

Highly recommend outdoor plans this weekend...
