Above Average Temperatures this Weekend


Warmer temperatures expected this weekend along with a slight chance for showers. Hello, I'm Meteorologist, Lauren Whisenhunt.

Winds will become more Southerly today, therefore, increasing the moisture in our atmosphere. Currently dewpoints are in the 30's and are expected to climb into the mid-40's by tonight. We are starting off this Friday morning under Mostly Cloudy skies. Expect a mix of sun and clouds with warmer temperatures this afternoon. Daytime highs will be near 62.

With the cloud cover over us and the increase of moisture in our atmosphere, overnight lows will only get down into around 50 degrees. Say goodbye to the freezing temperatures the next couple of days!
Through Saturday and Sunday, a strong circulation around and area of High Pressure to our East will continue to drive in warm and moist air from the South. This will help produce temperatures in the mid 70's Saturday and Sunday.

This weekend expect partly to mostly cloudy conditions at times. It will be much warmer tomorrow with a slight chance of showers late Saturday and into Sunday.

Models differ on the timing of our next Cold Front, but right now it looks like Tuesday and Wednesday of next week could be our best chance at seeing some more showers (30-40% chance) along with cooler temperatures returning by the end of next week.
