After a little bit of sunshine and chill temperatures throughout our Thursday, most of us waking up to a few rain showers overnight last night into early this morning, but we will bring some sunshine into the forecast, looking ahead into the end of the week on Friday.

We’ll start off the day with some sunshine before a little more cloud cover works in by midday, late afternoon, and into the early evening hours tonight. High temperatures warmer than what we’ve had the past few days. Expect high temperatures to warm into the low 60s by Friday afternoon.

That warming trend continues into the start of the weekend on Saturday, but it also brings a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Another cold front will work through the region by Saturday afternoon and early Saturday evening and that will bring our thunderstorm chance. High temperature is warming into low 70s by Saturday afternoon.

Behind that cold front for the end of the weekend on Sunday, we will keep a mixture of sunshine and clouds into the forecast. High temperatures running about 10 to 15° cooler to end the weekend. Expect high to warm into the upper 50s to lower 60s by Sunday afternoon.

Drier weather sticks around for the start of next week, before another chance of rain moves into the region by the time we get to Tuesday. The cooler-than-average temperatures will continue into the start of next week as well. Expect high temperatures to remain in the 50s for Monday and Tuesday.

Temperature start to warm up by the middle of next week, and Drier weather moves back in by Wednesday behind another cold front moving into the region. Expect high temperatures into the lower 60s on Wednesday to warm into the upper 60s by the time we get to Thursday.
