After a chilly start to the New Year milder temperatures are in the forecast into the weekend, but we’ll likely see a few periods of rain into Friday and eventually showers and thunderstorms into the weekend. The front that pushed through this morning will back up tomorrow as a warm front engendering clouds and possibly some fog, drizzle and scattered showers by tomorrow night. I have kept rain chances at 20% for late Thursday but it should increase to 40% Thursday night and about 30% on Friday. Temperatures will warm into the upper 50s to lower 60s Thursday afternoon and will likely stay in the 50s for Thursday night. Highs will reach the lower 70s Friday in spite of mostly cloudy skies while mid-70s can be expected for Saturday and perhaps Sunday. As we head into the weekend the upper level flow will become southwesterly with embedded disturbances lending to a healthy chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms just about at any time with the threat of stronger storms a possibility. Although it appears a fairly strong cool front will push through Sunday night lingering moisture and a strong upper system will likely translate to soaking rains with embedded thunderstorms as low pressure develops along the stalling front Monday. Colder and drier weather should move in for mid-next week while we continue to watch for a possible arctic outbreak down through road in mid-January.
Warmer But Occasionally Wet into the Weekend
