to our southeast, the forecast area will see a chance for unsettled 
weather through Friday. These features coupled with high pressure
to our northwest will allow for the region to see a northeasterly

into the 40s.

Seasonable high temperatures return on Friday with the greatest 
chance for rain in the morning hours. Totals will not exceed a 
quarter inch. Sky cover will decrease as well from west to east 
throughout the day, with the whole area seeing mostly clear skies 
overnight. Lows Friday night will dip down even further with 
temperatures in the mid 30s to mid 40s.

Clear skies will are expected on Saturday as high pressure builds
in from our southwest. With a northwesterly flow high 
temperatures will be slightly below average, in the low 50s. Low
