Many dry hours Friday before rain returns

Rain will begin to move out of the area this evening. Clouds will be on the decrease as we go through the overnight, clearing in many
spots by morning. This will allow temperatures to drop to the upper 30°s to lower 40°s.

Another system is headed our way for Friday evening.  The cold front will arrive late afternoon/evening.  Before it gets here, sunshine will prevail through the morning and early afternoon.  Clouds will begin to increase by late afternoon and rain will begin to fall by evening.

Before the clouds and rain arrives, temperatures should be able to climb to the middle 50°s and middle 60°s.  Winds will increase later in the day, gusting to 25 mph.

A few of the showers may linger in to early Saturday morning before clouds begin to depart.  Skies will turn sunny by afternoon and temperatures will rebound to the back to the middle 60°s.
