For the remainder of today, temperatures will be in the low-mid 70s. A cold front is forecast to pass through the region later this evening into the overnight hours. Ahead of the frontal boundary, some scattered showers and a few thunderstorms are possible during the afternoon hours. Coverage will be sparse and any storms should be short in duration.

Saturday enough instability may linger in the wake of this cold front to allow for the development of PM pop up thunderstorms/showers. Again, coverage will be widely scattered and intensity of these storms would not be too great. Otherwise, partly cloudy with high temperatures will be slightly warmer in the mid-upper 70s.

Sunday will be the best day of the weekend with high pressure beginning to build into the area. This high pressure center is forecast to sit to the south of us, allowing a warmer airmass to circulate clockwise around it. This should translate to warmer temperatures in the upper 70s to low 80s (especially inland) across the area. Fair weather with mostly sunny to clear skies.

This warm trend should continue into Monday of next week, when highs again will push 80n across the area under mostly sunny skies. Next chance at rain will be Tuesday.
