Warm, pleasant, showers return Friday

High pressure will bring another very pleasant day, but it will be interrupted by rain that arrives soon.

High pressure will bring another very pleasant day. High cloudiness will overspread the region ahead of a storm system in the Central states, filtering the sunshine. As the high shifts off to the east, a flow of southerly winds will push temperatures toward 80 degrees.

The arrival of higher humidity will create a chance for scattered showers and isolated storms this weekend, with the first round of showers arriving in time for the Friday morning commute.  

A frontal boundary will then sag south, serving as a focus for occasional showers and a few storms. There will be dry periods, so a washout is not expected. 

A disturbance will eventually push through on Monday, with rain lingering for a time, before skies clear with seasonable conditions.
