Weekend forecast: A few showers Saturday, looking better Sunday

/ May 5, 2023 at 8:22 PM

This weekend, while not completely clear of rain chances, doesn’t look half bad. Guidance trends toward a drier weekend have continued today, and it looks like we get just a few showers on Saturday and then partly cloudy skies on Sunday. High pressure moving offshore will pump in warmer and more moist air, leading to the shower potential Saturday. Highs top out only in the upper 70s, though, due to a decent amount of cloud cover throughout the day. We’ll see that cloud cover begin to break heading into the evening, though, and it should be a fairly nice end of the day.

Partly cloudy skies will be the rule Sunday. We’ll start the day in the low-to-mid-60s — much warmer than we’ve felt recently — and highs will top out in the low 80s in the afternoon. Dewpoints will be higher than they have been, but it’ll still be fairly comfortable at peak heating with relative humidity values below 50%. Overall, not the best weekend we’ve had, but not the worst, either. Even still, though, it looks likely that we will continue the streak of weekends with measurable rainfall dating back to early February.
