Friday & the weekend: A super weekend to stay inside

/ February 9, 2023 at 10:12 PM

The weather takes a turn for the unsettled starting tomorrow as a cold front approaches the area from the west. We get one more day in the 70s ahead of this front, but plenty of showers are expected within a solid moisture feed from the Gulf, with the better rain chances arriving in the afternoon. A few thunderstorms can’t be ruled out if instability can materialize particularly later in the afternoon and into the evening, and the wind fields are such that a few stronger storms are possible.

A deep trough coming along with the front will slow down and cut off into an upper low. This is going to help keep the weather quite unsettled into the weekend, particularly Saturday as low pressure develops off the coast. Temperatures will drop into the 50s on Saturday and won’t rise terribly much as the upper low pivots overhead and showers stay in the picture. We stay quite chilly on Sunday as low pressure begins to move northeast, and showers will remain likely for much of the day. Highs top out in the upper 50s.

All in all, this is a weekend best experienced indoors. At least there’s going to be a reasonably super football game on Sunday.
