A Stray Evening Shower, Cool Overnight

Scattered afternoon showers have largely subsided this evening. A few more stray showers will be possible before we clear out for a cool overnight. Saturday is looking to be the driest of the bunch, but only marginally warmer to open the weekend. A boundary will set up shop in the area Sunday into Monday, which will allow for a chance of showers both days while we continue to be a touch below average in the temperature department.

Forecast Discussion

Showers are on the decrease this evening. A few stray showers will be possible this evening before we clear out tonight. Expect cool overnight temperatures. Saturday looks to be the best of the forecast, but that isn't saying much. It will be dry Saturday, but temperatures will still be on the cool side. Expect the chance for more showers come Sunday and Monday. A relatively stationary boundary will set up to our north these days. The boundary will be close enough to warrant the mention of showers both days. Temperatures will continue to be cool throughout this period.

Low pressure in the Great Plains will slowly inch its way eastward during the middle of next week. Some time will be needed to iron out the details regarding its path, but we can expect showers Tuesday associated with the area of low pressure as well as upper level energy.

Wednesday and Thursday will look more like what we expect this time of year. Scattered showers will be possible Wednesday. By Thursday temperatures will take a step warmer, allowing for isolated showers and storms.

Temperatures should settle into the normal range late next week and weekend.
