However, by evening, rain and thunderstorms are likely to begin, with a 70% chance of showers lasting through Saturday.

According to the National Weather Service, Friday night will bring partly cloudy skies, shifting to rain showers and thunderstorms as the night progresses. Southeast winds of up to 10 mph may accompany the storms, potentially causing limited visibility on local roads, particularly along the Highway 6 corridor.

Saturday’s high of 58°F will be coupled with gusts reaching up to 20 mph, making for a wet and windy start to the weekend. Rainfall may be moderate but persistent, with thunderstorms forecasted to continue into Saturday night. By Sunday, thunderstorms will again make an appearance before noon, followed by additional showers throughout the day.

For those planning to drive or travel, anticipate reduced visibility and slippery roads, especially as showers resume Sunday night and into early Monday. Local authorities recommend remaining vigilant and preparing for possible delays.
