Friday & the weekend: A little much-needed rain Saturday night into Sunday

After one more mostly sunny and dry day Friday, the pattern finally turns a little more unsettled starting Saturday as a cold front advances toward the area. This front will help stir up some showers and maybe some thunderstorms later Saturday into Sunday. Rainfall amounts will generally be light — a quarter-inch may be awfully generous from this setup — but everything helps.
Temperatures Friday and Saturday run in the mid-to-upper 80s in the afternoons after starting in the upper 50s Friday and the low-to-mid-60s on Saturday. From there, a backdoor cold front looks to sink southward across the area on Sunday, which will take temperatures down a few degrees with highs in the low-to-mid-80s expected. With the exception of Monday, though, generally expect warmer-than-normal temperatures to close out April.
