Friday looks mainly dry for most, but another system will develop over the weekend and into early next week. Much of the state could see rainfall. The models have started to shift the track of the weekend system some so we’ll have to keep an eye on it to see where the bulk of the rain sets up.

We’ll also see temperatures finally trend downward, but still near or slightly above normal early next week.
