THURSDAY NIGHT: The heavy rain will move out, but spotty showers will continue into the evening and overnight hours. Temperatures will drop to near freezing by daybreak Friday, meaning some black ice is possible…especially north of US 82.

FRIDAY: Much of the day will become mostly sunny, but highs will struggle to reach the upper 40s with a chilly north wind.

WEEKEND: Saturday starts quite cold in the 20s, but sunshine most of the day will help highs reach the middle 50s. More sunshine is in store Sunday, moving highs into the 60s!
