Some rain chances today slowly tapering off by midday.
As precipitation ends today, clouds will break by late tonight with considerable sunshine for the weekend into next week. Warmer temperatures are expected Saturday into Sunday before a dry cold front passes by early afternoon Sunday. Temperatures will cool down a few degrees Sunday night into early next week.
We’ll see a warming trend with plenty of sunshine Tuesday into Wednesday ahead of another cold front by next Thursday.

A high to very high confidence forecast for the next seven days.
