A low pressure system and cold front will approach the area tomorrow, enhancing southerly flow and allowing temperatures to warm into the mid 70s under mostly sunny skies.
Clouds increase Friday night as the front nears, and scattered showers and thunderstorms will affect the state on Saturday. Latest model trends have the front clearing the area Saturday night causing the low pressure system that forms along it to track east of the area, decreasing the threat of heavy rain on Sunday and Monday. If this scenario plays out, there would still be a slight chance of rain, and it would be much lighter.
This storm is similar to a Nor’Easter snowstorm, in that there is a lot of uncertainty in the track, and the exact track of the low will determine how much rainfall we receive this weekend. Depending on where the front stalls, we could see heavy rain, or very little rain.
Behind the system, temperatures will be held down by northwest flow. Highs through mid-week will be in the low 60s.
