Stellar weather through Saturday, then showers show up for Sunday

Another weekend with rain but it isn't all that bad. Let's read between the weather lines.

FORECAST:

Today's weather is a perfect example of Chamber of Commerce weather. Sunny skies. Warmer, but not overly hot, and dry. Very little moisture in the air. This is weather excellence. And we get one more day of it.

Tonight will be quiet. Fair weather, for the most part. Overhead will keep the skies clear and the breeze on the lighter side. Tonight's temperatures should fade into the low to mid-50s.

Friday is wonderful. Mainly sunny, warm and dry. It won't be as warm as Thursday was, but upper 60s to low 70s is right where the needle should be on the thermometers for early October.

Change begins on the weekend. Saturday is fantastic. You will notice a touch more cloud coverage. Blue skies will slowly fade behind upper-level, wispy cirrus clouds providing a slightly milky appearance late Saturday afternoon. Then the cloud deck will slowly begin to lower for Saturday night. The weather remains rain-free.

The remnants of "Isaias," which is now a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico, will lurch northward on Sunday. There are still a few questions that need to be ironed out for more specificity of timing and how much moisture we could get.

Right now, my thoughts are that the weather doesn't amount to much. Will it rain on Sunday? Yes. What time? Probably later in the day. Will it be a hurricane or a tropical storm? Absolutely not. On again, off again showers with a little breeze late Sunday through early Monday morning is my call right now. But that stat of wet weather occurring on either a Saturday or Sunday continues.
