Strong Storms Saturday

High pressure will keep us clear and cool today, with highs in the upper 50s and low 60s. It looks like a great night for football, too. Temperatures will be in the low to mid 50s for High School Game Day.


A low pressure system moving in from the west will increase cloud cover overnight. Lows will only drop back to about 50 degrees. As a warm front pulls north, we'll see showers and thunderstorms developing early Saturday morning. Strong southerly winds will boost daytime highs into the mid 70s.


After a break in the rain, a cold front on Saturday night will bring a chance of strong to severe storms. A line of storms will move in from the west, bringing the threat of damaging winds. Storms will pull east overnight, lasting into Sunday morning.



We'll dry out by Sunday night, with highs in the mid to upper 60s for the end of the weekend. Monday and Tuesday will see a bit more sun, bumping highs into the upper 60s and low 70s. Another storm system will move through during the middle of next week, bringing rain for Wednesday and Thursday. Highs will end up in the low 60s by the end of next week.
