FORECAST DISCUSSION:

Happy Thursday!

We've got a nicer day on tap, with slightly warmer, but still below-average temperatures. Expect highs to top out in the low to middle 50s this afternoon, with a bit of a breeze. We'll see mainly sunny skies through at least the first half of the day, with a few more clouds building in this evening.

We've got a weak disturbance that works through overnight into Friday morning, which brings with it just an isolated sprinkle chance. Friday is still mainly dry overall. Expect highs Friday to warm into the lower 60s, under partly cloudy skies.

We'll then see more rain overnight and into Saturday. Saturday does look to be our wetter weekend day, with scattered showers throughout the day. The bulk of the rain, however, looks to fall during the morning and early afternoon. Highs Saturday stick in the low to middle 60s.

Then for Sunday, we've got some lower-end rain chances earlier in the day, with just isolated shower activity, especially south. The bulk of Sunday's rain does look to hold off until the evening and then overnight into Monday. Expect highs Sunday to top out near 60.

For Monday, we are looking at some widespread, and heavier rain showers. Keep the umbrella handy, as this is just one of a series of disturbances that continues to work through the region next week. Highs stick in the lower 60s.

Still looking at scattered shower activity through the middle of the next workweek.
