Some storms on Friday night but a decent weekend is ahead

SUMMARY: A decent Friday is ahead for us before another batch of showers and storms affect our area Friday night but they are expected to weaken as they move in. Aside from the chance of a few morning showers Saturday the weekend is looking great for a change. A cold front next Tuesday night into Wednesday morning looks to bring our next batch of heavy rain and storm chances.

FRIDAY: We’re waking up to mostly sunny skies this Friday morning. We’ll see a mix of sun & clouds by the afternoon. Highs in the mid to upper 70s. Winds from the NW to the SE at 5-10 mph as a warm front lifts north.
