Showers to begin Friday afternoon

4Warn WeatherHappy Friday!

We’re waking up to some milder temperatures this morning. Conditions become warmer, wet, and windy today.

We’ll bounce back above average temps this afternoon, reaching the upper 70s.

Rain will roll in mid-afternoon and evening, likely starting around 4 p.m. for most. A rumble of thunder or two can’t be ruled out. Expect a wet evening rush hour drive home.

Winds today could gust between 20-25 mph, as it turns breezy with the passage of a cold front.

Tonight’s sunset is at 8:52 p.m.

Drying out Saturday

Rain should push out early Saturday morning before sunrise. A shower or two could redevelop closer to the Thumb on Saturday afternoon, as the low pressure pushes east. Otherwise, the rest of the weekend looks to stay dry.

Highs on Saturday will drop to the mid-to-upper 60s. It will be a little breezy in the wake of the cold front. Clouds will decrease overall.

Sunny, warmer Sunday

We’ll climb back into the mid-70s on Sunday, the pick day of the weekend. The warmth will be paired with sunshine.

Even warmer next week

Another dry cold front will drop Monday’s highs closer to 70 degrees.

However, we will begin another warmup to around 80 degrees by next Wednesday and Thursday.
