Wednesday Afternoon Discussion

From Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi...

I'm going to step out on a limb here and call this afternoon perfect. Mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies with highs in the upper 60s to lower 70s. It really doesn't get much nicer than that. Unfortunately, it can't last forever, and changes are on the way.

As we head into tomorrow expect warmer temperatures and a slight chance of an isolated thunderstorm or two. An upper level system approaching from the West combined with a drlyine setting up could set off a few storms. Highs will warm into the middle to upper 70s as well.

Friday and Friday night are when I expect to see the worst of the weather. As the system approaches from the West, it will send disturbances out ahead of it as well as push the dryline our direction. I expect a few rounds of thunderstorms to develop beginning Friday and continuing through early Saturday.

By Saturday afternoon our rain chances will come to an end and temperatures will begin to climb back to above normal.

Sunday through Wednesday of the extended looks to be mostly sunny to partly cloudy with highs from the low to middle 80s.
