Cool, Possibly Wet, Wednesday

Today's Forecast

63°
53°

We are going to trade those stormy skies for cooler temps tonight and Wednesday, and I think most are okay with that!

Look for mostly cloudy skies through Wednesday with breezy conditions. We should stay mainly dry tonight, but there will be a chance for a few showers Wednesday especially for the northern half of the state. With all the clouds and WNW winds blowing Wednesday, we will likely keep temperatures in the 50s most of the day with highs only in the lower 60s.

The clouds should be exiting Thursday, and we can start to warm back up close to 70°. This might be our only real SUNNY day because more clouds could be rolling in by Friday afternoon with a chance of rain Friday evening.

Higher chances for rain and storms will be with us Saturday, however. These storms may become strong and produce some locally heavy rain and hail. Temperatures will be gradually warming up into next week, but it also looks like it will stay on the stormy side.

Have a cool, but CALM night everyone!
