Thursday will be another mostly sunny day before showers and a few thunderstorms develop at night. Rain chances will move in from west to east between 8 p.m. – midnight. The showers and rumbles of thunder are moving in ahead of a trough of low pressure that will bring in slightly cooler (though still WELL above average) temperatures for Friday.
Friday will still be a very summer-like day with high temperatures in the mid to low 80s. The nice, warm weather will persist through much of the day Saturday before rain and showers develop later at night. A strong cold front moves through the Metro Sunday morning with some early showers but we’ll be able to salvage a nice afternoon.
Temperatures will take a temporary dip early next week in the low 60s before temperatures warm right back up.
