Some rain is on the way along with milder temperatures as we head towards the weekend.
We start off with high pressure in control, keeping us dry through Saturday. Temperatures will be chilly tonight, but as the high moves off to the east, we’ll start to moderate for Friday and Saturday. Friday should feature a decent amount of sunshine, but clouds will increase and thicken up during the day on Saturday as low pressure heads toward the Great Lakes. As that low heads into southeastern Canada, southerly winds will start to pick up on Sunday, resulting in quite a mild day, with temperatures likely getting close to 60 degrees in many locations. It looks like most of the rain should hold off until late in the day, but once it moves in, some heavy rain is possible Sunday night into Monday morning. South to southwest winds will be quite gusty at night as well. The low will drag a cold front across the region Monday morning, with the rain ending by early afternoon. Once the front moves through, west to northwest winds will usher much cooler air in. So, even though we’ll likely start the day well into the 50s, we’ll drop in the 40s by afternoon. Skies should start to clear out by late in the day.
