WEDNESDAY:
Cloudy, showers possible
Highs: 70-75
Winds: Southeast 5-10 mph
Clouds will increase early this morning with cloudy skies expected for much of the day. With the clouds, high temperatures will be about 5 degrees cooler than yesterday, but still a bit above average for mid-April. Have the umbrella on hand with a chance for a few, passing showers. It will not be a washout with many hours of dry time today. Rainfall totals today will be a few hundredths of an inch to .10″.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT:
Early rain, storm chance
Then partly cloudy
Lows: 57-63
Winds: Southeast 5 mph
There’s a chance for rain, and maybe even a thunderstorm, up until midnight. No severe weather is expected. Skies will become partly cloudy overnight with mild temperatures.

THURSDAY:
Partly cloudy
Highs: 77-83
Winds: North 5-10 mph
Warmer weather is expected Thursday with afternoon highs back to around 80 degrees in some neighborhoods. It will be another nice, spring day to get out and enjoy!

FRIDAY:
Mostly cloudy
Highs: 68-73
Winds: Southeast 5-10 mph
We’ll round out the week with added cloud cover and more seasonable temperatures. There’s a slight chance for a passing afternoon or evening shower, as a cold front approaches, but there is not a lot of moisture associated with this weather-maker.

SATURDAY:
Partly cloudy, breezy
Highs: Around 70
Winds: Northwest 10-15, Gusts 25 mph
Saturday will be the warmer weekend day with highs around 70 degrees. It will be a breezy day with low humidity and a mix of sun and clouds.

SUNDAY:
Partly cloudy
Highs: Low 60s
Winds: Northwest 5-10 mph
Cooler than average temperatures will round out the weekend. Sunday morning will start off in the 40s, so it will be a noticeably cooler/colder to start the day. Afternoon highs will only reach the low 60s, which is below average. Sunday will be the first time in a week and a half with below average temperatures, so make sure to have a light jacket for your Sunday plans, especially in the morning.
