Weekend rain & storms coming

SUMMARY: Expect more clouds than sun for the rest of the week but rain chances will remain low through Friday. Our next best chance of rain will come Saturday afternoon through Sunday. There is the potential for some gusty storms Saturday night and Sunday morning if the atmosphere can become unstable enough. At this point it’s still in doubt but we’ll have to watch it since there will be ample wind energy in the atmosphere. Another 1/2” to over 2” of rain may fall this weekend.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy and mild. Lows in the upper 40s. Light SE winds 2-5 mph.

THURSDAY: More clouds than sun. Highs in the mid 60s.

SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. A 40-50% chance of afternoon showers. Highs in the upper 60s.
