Dave’s Forecast: Rain returns Friday and Saturday; windy, but dry Sunday ahead
Thursday should see a mix of sun and clouds. Rainy weather returns for Friday and Saturday.
I've got some good news and I've got some bad news for this weather forecast.
First, the bad news. Yes, for a seventh consecutive weekend, there will be rain. I know, I know, but this also leads me to the good news. The weekend isn't a washout. In fact, I think we might even be able to salvage parts of Saturday.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy and seasonable chilly. Lows in the low-40s.
THURSDAY: Still quiet. Clouds and sun share the sky. Probably a little more sun than clouds, so we have that going for us. High around 65.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Clouds collect, but should remain rain-free.

FRIDAY: Here we go. A storm sliding up the coast will be dragging on and off showers through the state through the day. Highs around 65.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Showers continue. Possibly more consistent and stormier. Be careful when traveling, as visibility can drop and roads will be slick.
SATURDAY: Early in the day there will be lingering showers, however, the intensity and areal coverage begin to lift - a sign of drier weather. After lunchtime, the showers should be no more than nuisance sprinkles. I don't think the sun makes a full appearance in our Saturday afternoon skies, but there might be some brightening to the greyness as the showers lift.
SUNDAY: The storm leaves the area and the winds really start to crank up. Gusts of 30-40 mph could be common. The wind direction brings in a drier AND cooler airmass. Daytime highs to end the weekend won't make it to 60.
