FORECAST DISCUSSION:
Happy Tuesday!
We start the day off with rain showers moving through, but they’re not long-lasting. Expect rain to clear by mid-morning in the city, lingering just a bit longer for our southeastern areas, where rain tapers by early to mid-afternoon. We’ll be a bit cooler today, but still mild, with highs in the middle 70s. Clouds eventually break this evening.
For Wednesday, our warm weather returns! The first day of May, and we’ve got above-average temperatures, once again. Expect highs to warm back near 80, under mainly sunny skies. We’ll feel a slight breeze at times, and see the chance for just an isolated sprinkle. Mainly dry overall.
That isolated sprinkle chance lasts through Thursday, but still mainly dry. Highs continue to warm, into the middle 80s, under mainly sunny skies.
Our next cold front arrives on Friday. We top out in the lower 80s, and then scattered rain and thunderstorms arrive during the afternoon and evening.
Those showers continue overnight, and through about the first half of Saturday.
