Get ready for a significant weather change. After a wet Friday and a cool Saturday, temperatures are expected to rise, bringing warmth and the possibility of thunderstorms into the upcoming week. The News 5 Weather Team is tracking these shifts.

Weekend Weather Transition

The weather pattern is set for dramatic changes, moving from a damp and cool Friday to a warmer Sunday, followed by a week of fluctuating temperatures and potential thunderstorms. Friday evening will see the end of the rain as the weather system moves southeast, allowing for a drier night. However, the warmth from the previous pattern will recede, causing temperatures to drop significantly overnight.

Overnight Chill and Saturday Cool Down

Prepare for a chilly night with temperatures expected to fall into the low 40s and even the 30s. This cooler weather will continue into Saturday, with daytime highs likely remaining in the 40s for most areas. This is about 10 degrees below the seasonal average, indicating a noticeable change in the weather's feel. Fortunately, this cool spell is predicted to be brief.

Warmth Returns with Stormy Outlook

The weather pattern is poised for a rapid transformation beginning Sunday. Warmth will make a swift return, promising a substantial temperature increase for the start of the new week. Sunday is forecast to see highs climb into the mid to upper 70s, with this warmth expected to last for several days.

Daily Storm Chances

Accompanying the warmer temperatures, there's a chance for daily thunderstorms. While scattered thunderstorms are possible each day, it doesn't mean every day will be a washout. The News 5 weather team is closely monitoring the developing patterns for any stronger storms throughout the week. Residents should stay informed and be prepared for rapidly changing conditions.

Specific Forecast Details

Saturday is expected to be mostly dry and cool, with highs around 48 degrees. Sunday will bring warmer temperatures and partly cloudy skies, with a chance of isolated thunderstorms and a high of 77 degrees. Monday and Tuesday will also feature afternoon storm possibilities, with highs predicted at 75 degrees on both days.
