We’ll enjoy temperatures in the 50s and even low 60s Friday with mostly dry conditions ahead of what is likely to be a pretty wet, windy weekend.

Near 60 for many Friday?

In between rain showers we’ll squeeze out a milder Friday, still below normal but hey, closer anyway. Highs will mainly be in the 50s and some low 60s.

Wet, windy but no snow this weekend

Do you want the good news or the bad news first? Let’s start with the good. Almost no one will see snow out of this storm system; that’s progress.

Okay, now the bad news: it’s going to be pretty wet and windy. Rain showers and some thunder develop Friday night into Saturday. Saturday looks to be the wettest of the weekend.

Sunday will have some lingering showers, then we dry out early next week but temperatures will still run 5 to 10 degrees cooler than average. We’re still on track for a warming trend toward consistently normal temperatures next weekend into the following week.
