Friday & the weekend: Sunnier, cooler, a little breezy
A series of cold fronts will usher in a pretty unseasonably cool airmass for Friday and the weekend. Tonight’s front, which was responsible for another round of thunderstorms that produced hail across the metro area, will bring considerably cooler and drier conditions for Friday. After starting out in the low 50s, highs will top out no warmer than the low 70s with mostly sunny skies throughout the day. Winds will be a little breezy behind the front as cold air advects into the area throughout the day, but it’s nothing we can’t handle at this point.
A reinforcing cold front comes through Friday night/early Saturday morning, bringing some cloud cover along for the ride (but it’ll be too dry for precipitation). After starting the day in the mid-40s, highs will only top out in the low 60s — temperatures that are much more reminiscent of January than April in these parts. Sunday morning starts even cooler, with lows in the upper 30s in the metro area. We could turn even cooler than that further inland, and frost may become a consideration. Temperatures do rebound to near 70° under full sunshine, though.
Rain-free conditions will continue through to at least next Wednesday if not Thursday as temperatures warm back to the low 80s by the middle of the work week. Enjoy the break from wacky weather!
