Mercury Rising...

Jeff Haniewich

Hello!  Spotty, pop-up t-showers were around on Thursday, otherwise we saw a mix of sun and clouds.  It was a warm day, but the heat will really be on as we head into the holiday weekend.  Tonight will be partly to mostly cloudy with any evening t-showers ending.  It will be a mild and muggy night with lows in the upper 50s and lower 60s.  Patchy fog will also likely develop.  Friday all the way through Memorial Day will see a mix of sun and clouds (more sun in the morning and more clouds later in the day) with a few showers and storms possible each afternoon.  Temperatures will be very warm, if not hot, through the period reaching the middle 80s on Friday, the lower 90s on Saturday, and the upper 80s to around 90 Sunday and Monday.  There will be a better chance for scattered showers and storms as a cold front approaches Tuesday through Thursday of next week.  With additional cloud cover will come cooler temperatures, as highs will top out in the low-to-mid 80s those three days.  Have a great night!
