Rain Chance Increasing for the Weekend

A few changes have been made to the weekend forecast. Temperatures still look on track, but the chance for rain Saturday has increased. Low pressure developing over the southern Plains Thursday, currently bringing snow to the Texas Panhandle, will lift northeast during the afternoon Friday. Cloud cover has increased locally Thursday evening, but should clear out Friday with high pressure overhead.

Earlier in the week it looked like the low over the southwest would remain well to our south, only increasing clouds for the weekend. But the low has taken a track a little further to the north, bringing the northern edge of the rain into northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin during the evening and overnight Saturday. As of Thursday evening, it looks like the heaviest rainfall will stay just to our south where totals could reach over one inch. A shift to the north, however, would increase the chance for higher rainfall totals Saturday night.

The low will be quick to move out Sunday leaving us with a mostly dry afternoon. High temperatures Sunday will warm back into the upper 50s, to even near 60 degrees.
