Heat will ease as air gradually cools through the weekend

From record-breaking warmth the last couple of days to temperatures cooling through the weekend and into next week. In fact, there might be a chance for a frost by Monday night.

We say sayonara to the heat with an incoming weather system that should bring some showers through the area later tonight and part of the day tomorrow. The temperatures will gradually begin to drop, with the anomalous warmth being forced south.

Tonight will be comfortably warm with a few spotty showers and storms trying to drift into the region. Nothing substantial, nothing state-wide. something we really need. Low temperatures are still well above average in the low to mid-60s.

The end of the week comes to a close with nearly perfect weather conditions. It looks to be mainly sunny. A few late-day clouds are possible. The air is still plenty warm and above the April seasonable norm of 63 degrees, but not record-breaking or even close. Afternoon highs should be in the upper 70s to 80 degrees.

The temperatures will continue to fade through the weekend. The weather on Saturday looks wonderful, but some might find it chilly, even though the air is exactly as it should be for this time of year. Back to the low and mid-60s. Sunday looks sloppy. On-and-off showers in the forecast all day long, but this is the type of weather we desperately need to alleviate the building dry conditions.
