Cold air damming will be the main weather driver this weekend as high pressure wedging in from the north will keep us chilly and mostly cloudy.

Saturday will be the more rain-free of the two weekend days as a little drier air aloft punches in between upper-level disturbances. Lingering showers shut off around daybreak, and we could see some breaks in the cloud cover from time to time, but overall, mostly cloudy skies will be the rule as temperatures struggle into the upper 50s.

Expect similar conditions for Sunday as the wedge continues to hang on. Rain chances return by Sunday afternoon/early evening as the next disturbance moves atop the area. Temperatures will once again struggle to the upper 50s with the wedge in place, so the fleece-lined rain gear might feel pretty good.

Naturally, the weather will begin to improve on Monday…c’est la vie. But for now, it’s a good weekend to enjoy some good soup and maybe catch up on some TV or reading.
