A reinforcing shot of cooler air will send temperatures well below normal this weekend, but first we have to get through some elevated rain chances for Friday that linger into Saturday. Friday starts in the low 70s, warming to the mid-80s in the afternoon. Low pressure developing along the front will strafe the area in the afternoon and evening hours, driving rain chances up across the area as it does so. Rain chances peak Friday evening into Saturday morning, though scattered storms will remain possible much of the day Saturday. A trough of low pressure hangs over the area on Sunday, and this keep the risk for a few showers and storms in the forecast especially in the afternoon.

Temperatures will dive even further below normal Saturday and Sunday. Expect highs to only reach about 80° on Saturday, while we may not even crack 80° on Sunday. If the high of 78° verifies, it’d be the coolest high temperature since May 18, when we also reached 78°! Fall will certainly be a bit more in the air, that’s for sure. Temperatures recover back into the low 80s as we get into next week, but remain well below early September normals.
