Weather Outlook This Afternoon and Weekend What to Expect

As we step into the afternoon, the weather brings a mix of pleasant and unpredictable elements. With a high near 73 degrees, the day is shaping up to be partly sunny, providing a great opportunity to enjoy outdoor activities while the weather holds. A gentle southeast wind at about 7 mph adds a refreshing touch to the warm temperatures.

However, don’t put away the umbrellas just yet! As the evening approaches, the forecast indicates a chance of showers and thunderstorms, especially before 11 PM. The likelihood of rain increases significantly after 11 PM, with a strong possibility of continued showers and even more thunderous activity between 11 PM and 3 AM. As the clouds roll in, expect temperatures to dip to around 58 degrees overnight, so a light jacket might come in handy. The chance of precipitation this evening stands at 70%, with the potential for higher rainfall amounts in thunderstorms.

Friday's Forecast: A Swinging Mood

Tomorrow, Friday, looks to be a day characterized by unpredictability. Early morning could greet us with a chance of showers before 11 AM, followed by scattered thunderstorms making an appearance throughout the late morning and early afternoon. The afternoon holds some promise, with partly sunny skies peeking through the clouds, and a high near 75 degrees to look forward to.

Be prepared for gusty conditions as well; a west wind is expected to blow at around 11 mph, with gusts reaching as high as 21 mph. The chance of precipitation on Friday stands at 60%, hinting that the weather could swing from sunny to stormy quite rapidly. New rainfall amounts may remain less than a tenth of an inch, with higher amounts possible during storms.

Friday Night: Classically Cloudy

As Friday night sets in, expect a continuation of earlier weather patterns: the chance for showers and thunderstorms remains. The skies will be mostly cloudy, and temperatures will slide down to a low of around 55 degrees, so comfort is key. Light and variable winds should make for a tranquil night, but keep an eye on your favorite weather sources, as the chance of rain hovers around 50%. For those who might get wet, new rainfall could range between a tenth and a quarter of an inch, particularly in any thunderstorms.

Saturday's Showers: A Persistent Presence

Saturday promises to keep things interesting with showers likely throughout the day. The morning will bring showers before 11 AM, transitioning into a period where showers could mix with thunderstorms from 11 AM to 5 PM. The sky will remain predominantly cloudy, and temperatures will peak at a cooler 66 degrees.

A northwest wind of about 3 to 7 mph won't provide much relief in temperature, but at least it’s mild. Those planning outdoor activities should prepare for a 70% chance of rain; it seems that Saturday may well be a washout, particularly in the early parts of the day.

A 40% chance of rain lingers throughout the day, reminding us that this unpredictable weather pattern doesn’t quite want to slip away just yet. As the sun sets on Monday, the chance of showers returns, accompanied by rather mild nighttime temperatures at around 50 degrees.

Tuesday: A Ray of Sunshine?

Looking ahead to Tuesday, the forecast suggests a possible shift towards warmer, more stable weather. Showers are likely with partly sunny conditions, and we can anticipate high temperatures nearing 69 degrees. The weather seems to show hints of breaking free from scattered showers as the days progress.

As we analyze the week leading up, it’s quite clear that unpredictability is the theme. While there are definitely pockets of sunnier moments to look forward to, continuing vigilance toward the forecast appears necessary. Make plans, enjoy the outdoors, but keep the umbrella nearby just in case!
