Sunday Forecast

Temps stay mild to close out the weekend.  Winds will shift out of the southwest for the day, bringing in some warmer air.  Skies will be mostly sunny as strong high pressure continues to push any clouds and moisture out of the area.

Extended Outlook

The work week will start with above average temps also.  There is a slight chance for snow flurries on Monday night into Tuesday but very little moisture is being show.  However, Tuesday will bring some chillier weather as a cold front drops temps around freezing.  After that little dip temps will rebound again and climb back into the 40s.  This next week is still looking dry aside from the minimal moisture Monday night.  Will keep you updated as the week continues.

All the new information that I've been looking at since Tuesday night suggests that our area will enjoy a warmer and drier weekend overall.  I am going to revise our temperatures upward to reflect this trend and also reduce the chance of rain.  Showers will be possible between Friday night and Saturday night but it doesn't look nearly as damp as it did just a few days ago.
