Crisp spring weather, warmer weekend with a few showers

High pressure building down from Ontario, Canada will bring another crisp spring day, with temperatures near 60 degrees later this afternoon.

Clouds will increase Friday well ahead of a storm system in the Great Plains, which will combine with high pressure near the Atlantic Coast to foster a warmer and more humid southerly flow. A warm front will lift northward, bringing the chance for scattered showers and storms later in the day.

Conditions will become quite breezy through the weekend, with warmer weather and temperatures climbing into the upper 70s to low 80s, under partly sunny skies. Only isolated showers and storms are possible Saturday, and Sunday should be dry, breezy and warm.

Eventually, a storm coming out of the west will bring an opportunity for showers and storms beginning on Monday.
