The forecast for this weekend has not appreciably changed since  the outlook I posted on Tuesday.  Low pressure in the Midwest and associated warm front to our south will send an impulse eastward over our area on Saturday —

Saturday will be cloudy with light rain for much of the day.  Total rainfall varies by model, but about 0.5 inches likely.  An easterly wind flow will keep things cool, with a high of 49-52º.

For Sunday, some showers early as low pressure departs.  The warm front to our south will attempt to move to our north during the day.  The models are showing a slow movement of this front, with clouds much of the day, with some bright spots mid-day.  Showers develop in the afternoon.  The actual warm front moves through about 4-6PM, preceded and accompanied by showers and possibly some thunderstorms. 

It will be increasingly mild on Sunday with highs near 65-68º towards later in the afternoon.

There is uncertainty about the timing of the frontal passage and it may occur later, towards evening.  Some models point to low pressure development off the coast, which would further delay the warm air arriving. 

Stay safe and healthy.  I’ll update over the weekend for Sunday’s forecast.

As posted earlier in the week, we are caught in a pattern  of unsettled weather tracking along and north of a stalled frontal boundary to our south.

The first impulse comes through early Friday morning with light rain, ending during the morning with some partial clearing and some sunshine during the afternoon.  It will be mild with high temps near 68º!

For Saturday, a more significant disturbance tracks from west to east through our area.  Most of the us will see at least 1/2 inch of rain.  An easterly flow will keep temperatures fairly cool.  High temp 50º.

For Sunday, the warm front that has been to our south gradually moves through late Saturday night though Sunday.  Clouds with some scattered showers is most likely in the morning, but some models have additional showers early afternoon.  It will become very mild later in the afternoon.  High 69º.

Here’s the EKDMOS high temp forecast for Friday through Sunday:

I’ll fine tune the forecast Friday night.
