Rob Martin’s “Spotty Weekend Rain” Friday Night Forecast

The developing pattern into next week is looking more like summer than spring, but without the outright summer heat. This will bring overnight temps up to around 70 this weekend, and to the lower 70s next week. It’ll stay rather humid with highs in the low-mid 80s this weekend, then mid 80s by mid-week. Inland areas could hit upper 80s during this time.

As for showers and thunderstorms, we’ll go with a 30% chance Saturday and Sunday, during peak heating, primarily near lake/sea breeze boundaries, but a few showers could also pop up Saturday morning.

Any interruptions from precipitation to outdoor activities this weekend would be rather brief in nature. A “poorly timed” shower or storm, along with varying cloud cover, could cause a few sites to not reach their potential highs, but overall expect warm/humid conditions…although not quite like summer yet. Coastal areas will likely see sea breezes cap their highs off in the lower 80s in the short term. Heat will peak later next week with slightly lower afternoon thunderstorm chances. No cold front will be able to get through until late next week sometime.
