FORECAST DISCUSSION:

Happy Thursday!

We start the day with a wintry mix across most of the region as temperatures start off close to freezing. We'll then see a transition to mainly rain showers this afternoon. Highs drop back to the middle 40s today, with a breeze.

Expect a bit of a wintry mix, once again, overnight into Friday morning. Our shower activity will become more isolated in nature Friday, but we will still see a few pockets of rain into the afternoon. Highs remain in the middle 40s.

We start to shape up in time for the weekend. Expect highs close to 50 on Saturday, with a few clouds out. By Sunday we're looking at highs in the upper 50s with more sunshine. Clouds then build in later Sunday, with just an isolated shower chance overnight into early Monday.

Monday is the day of the solar eclipse, and we are keeping a very close eye on the cloud forecast. It is looking like we will see partly cloudy skies that day, so it is something to watch. Temperatures will be mild, with highs in the middle 60s.
