The weather temporarily clears out for the daytime tomorrow, but the rain quickly fills right back in Friday night into Saturday. Areas of low pressure will ride along the stalled front that will be sitting to our south. So from time to time, the rain will really come down.

The weekend will start really soggy, but it doesn't look like a complete washout. It will be a good soaking rain coming in for Saturday night and into Sunday morning. There will also be drier moments starting Sunday afternoon and evening. Rain chances are looking slightly less now for Monday too. The timing may change slightly on when these rounds of rain occur, so be sure to check back in for the latest on your local forecast.

In the meantime, temperatures will be cool. Onshore winds begin Friday and strengthen into Saturday, bringing cooler marine air that will impact local temperatures. Highs on Friday will reach the middle and upper 60s. Saturday will be much cooler with 50s and lower 60s. Sunday could recover more in the afternoon if the rain clears sooner with highs returning to the middle 60s. We will finally see 70s again on Memorial Day.

Temperatures will continue to rise and warm back up next week.
