Although annoying, these winds will pull a “WWE tag team-esque” partnership with the sun, sending afternoon temps into the mid 70s.  If you have a problem with that… check your pulse.  It’ll be a great day for a FREE Cheetah Carwash.

Clouds will increase tonight, as the front continues to roll in from the northwest.

Fri – Scat’d Showers & Storms – High 72˚ / Fri Night – Iso’d Rain Showers – Low 52˚

The cold front will park itself just northwest of the region on Friday.  This means hit & miss showers & storms all day.  We may even get in on the action before the sun rises.

The GFS model below says “Yeah, scattered rain showers Friday evening.”

GFS Model Valid 7pm Friday

Total rainfall amounts look to stay light, topping out around .25-.50″ at best.  The QPF outlook supports this.  It’s valid through Friday evening:

Sat – Partly Sunny – High 75˚ / Sat Night – Partly Cloudy – Low 56˚

Partly sunny skies, that’ll be the story for the weekend.  We may see a sprinkle or two, but nothing that should ruin your outdoor plans.

Good news for all of you turkey hunters out there.  Opening weekend looks to be nice, even a tad on the warm side.
