A series of cold fronts will make for a bit of an unsettled forecast heading into the weekend. A washout is not anticipated, though.

Said front will come through sometime Friday morning, clearing out any shower activity from overnight. Cooler and drier air will punch into the area, setting up a rather nice day for many of us as highs peak in the mid-70s under partly to mostly sunny skies. It’ll be breezy, though, with gusty winds possibly approaching 30 MPH at times according to NWS. Keep this in mind if you decide to have lunch outside!

Unsettled weather returns Saturday as moisture return improves across the area and mid-level disturbances pass on by. These disturbances should kick off some scattered showers and some thunderstorms across the area, particularly in the afternoon. Ahead of thunderstorms, temperatures will top out in the low 80s across the area with the more warm and moist airmass returning to the area.

Sunday, another cold front will stall out across the area and another disturbance will ripple overhead. This will bring another round of scattered showers and maybe some thunderstorms to the area. Temperatures will run noticeably cooler behind the second front with highs only topping out in the mid-70s in the afternoon.

The good news in all this is that no severe weather is anticipated — getting the rain without all the other stuff is a win for our still-parched part of the world.
