The nice stretch of dry weather will come to an end today as weak low pressure to our south and another stronger low pressure now over Iowa, will give us mainly cloudy skies with rain developing. The rain should begin around 4 p.m. and end around 10 p.m. with rainfall amounts about half of an inch.

Thursday will start off cloudy with some fog but become mostly sunny and warm as weak high pressure moves into the area. Temperatures should rise into the low 70s.

A frontal system will give us a chance of showers during Friday morning followed by clearing and becoming windy. With enough sunshine temperatures will rise well up into the 70s with a brisk westerly wind with gusts to 35 mph in the afternoon.

Saturday will be the best day of the upcoming weekend with high pressure in control. Temperatures will be lower but still above normal with highs mainly in the 60s.

Another low pressure will give our area a good chance of rain on Sunday with cooler temperatures.

Dry early next week with temperatures at or slightly below seasonable average.
