Friday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

The rain has cleared out of the area this morning, and now we are left with some patchy fog. Visibilities could be reduced as low as one mile in some locations. Be careful and give yourself some extra time to get to your destination. Also, be sure to use your low beam headlights in foggy conditions.

Clouds will decrease through the day, so by this afternoon we should have mostly sunny skies. Highs will be in the upper 70s to low 80s which is seasonal for this time of year.

Partly cloudy skies return tomorrow, as well as the warm temperatures. An upper level high pressure ridge will be in control over the area so highs will make it into the upper 80s.

A trough, or dip in the jetstream, will set up in the western United States by Sunday. Some upper level disturbances could move through the area during the second half of the weekend and Monday, so there is a slight to 20% chance of showers and thunderstorms. Highs should be in the mid to upper 80s.

A cold front is expected arrive late Monday into early Tuesday so rain chances increase to 30%. Highs will cool down into the upper 70s for Tuesday.

Another shot of rain comes with an upper level disturbance on Thursday. Right now, that chance of rain is 20%.

Have a fantastic Friday!
