Weekend forecast: Generally nice, but changes are on the way

Generally speaking, we can expect good weather this weekend (especially on Saturday) with a wedge of high pressure building southward through the Carolinas into Georgia. This will lead to breezier conditions for the weekend as northeasterly winds kick up, and temperatures will run a couple clicks lower with cooler air moving in at the surface. Moisture will also start to overrun the wedge, and that will bring a gradual increase in dewpoints and cloud cover as low pressure develops in the Gulf. This low pressure system may bring us some showers later Sunday, and look to make for a soggy Monday.
Saturday’s lows will once again begin in the upper 40s (with some mid-40s inland), warming to the low 70s in the afternoon under partly cloudy skies. Cloud cover will continue to thicken on Sunday as moisture return continues; this will lead to a warmer start in the mid-50s before highs peak around 70-71° once again under mostly cloudy skies. Showers and maybe even some rumbles of thunder will be possible beginning Sunday evening, so keep that in mind as you make your weekend plans.
