Rain On The Way Tonight And Sunday

WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:

A sun/cloud mix much of our Saturday but the rain will hold off until sunset for most of us. Once the rain moves in tonight, it will be with us for a rainy Sunday ahead. Showers will also linger into Monday and parts of next week. Mostly cloudy ahead for our Saturday. Highs around 77 with east southeast winds 5 to 10 mph. Rain chances in increase overnight, with lows in the lower 50s. More on the forecast below:

THE WEEKEND:

Southeast winds are forecast to return this weekend as a low pressure system will approach from the southwest increasing the humidity a bit as the weekend goes on. Showers will return late in the day on Saturday or more likely Saturday night into the day on Sunday. If you have weekend plans and want to beat the rain, wrap up what you need to get done before the sunsets on Saturday. Highs on Saturday will hit the mid 70s but highs on Sunday will only reach the mid to upper 60s under the clouds and rain showers.

Saturday night lows will fall to the low to mid 50s and Sunday night lows will fall to the mid to upper 50s. There could be some weak storms mixing in during the day on Sunday but severe weather or strong storms do not appear to be likely with this next storm system. We will be watching things closely though in the 7 Storm Team Weather Center as the week progresses. Saturday will be partly cloudy but Sunday will be a mostly cloudy day. Some rain could linger into Monday morning. A few more showers on and off into Tuesday and Wednesday.

NEXT WEEK:

After a few morning showers drier weather should return for a bit on Monday afternoon into the day on Tuesday. Highs on Monday will hit around 70° and the clouds will try to break up some as the day goes on. Monday night lows will fall down to the mid 50s to kick off our Tuesday and the winds on Monday will come out of the east.

Another system will quickly move in from the northwest on Wednesday. It will bring breezy to windy conditions and add more chances of showers as it rolls through. As it passes through, the winds will change from the east to the northwest and some cold rain showers will develop around the low pressure system and front as it passes by. It does not appear to be the type of system to bring severe storms with it as of now. Behind the system high temperatures will fall back into the 60s with lows back into the 40s. As of now, there are no imminent signs of a frost coming behind it. A quick look into Halloween shows dry weather as of now with a high around 60° but we are a ways out to confirm that forecast just yet.
