Good News and Bad News
    Hi 65 F
Lo 53 F
 

After a gorgeous day yesterday we're heading downhill into the weekend.  We had cloudy skies and some like showers this morning.  As the day wears on, we'll some some late peaks of sunshine but it will turn out a little cooler than yesterday.  There is good news and bad news when it comes to the weekend.  Saturday morning, when many people will be heading outside, it shouldn't be too bad.  In fact, we may even see our high set around the lunch hour.  By afternoon, the winds shift and showers and storms will begin to push into the state.   Without a full day of heating we'll end up on the cool side with lower to mid 60s for highs.  Overnight, we may have some areas of heavy rain but we aren't expecting any severe storms. Mother's Day will start off a little dreary with clouds and a few light showers.  Some improvement arrive late in the day as the clouds break up, but it will remain breezy and cool with highs mainly in the mid to upper 50s.
