After a couple days of much needed rainfall, we begin to shift our focus towards the weekend where dry conditions once again look to return! Luckily, with the past few days of rainfall (mainly Tuesday), it won't affect us as much if we stayed dry both days.
We won't be completely dry yet either today as satellite and radar this morning is still picking up a few showers moving through the region. Our moisture values will drop through the day today, however early on we may still see a few showers this afternoon and near this evening.
Even with the chances of a few isolated showers, we won't see much sunshine until late while our temperatures will remain cool today. Back-to-back 50-degree days looks to keep on going into today, but a bit more sunshine this evening or into the afternoon may help us get to 60 degrees!
It's been a wild ride these past two weeks in terms of temperatures as last week nearly every day was 10 degrees or higher above the average high temperature. While in the span of only 2 days we have managed to drop our daily high temperatures 15 degrees below our average high!
Heading into the weekend though, temperatures look to climb back up into the 60's at least! High pressure at the surface over the next couple of days will keep us calm at the surface along with drier conditions throughout the Midwest. This will make the start of the weekend calmer along with a bit more sunshine helping bring our cooler temperatures up a bit.
We're going to be staying dry through the weekend due to most of our atmospheric moisture staying to our south. With cooler and drier flow moving from the north towards us within the jet stream we're going to continue our cooler trend along with pushing any available moisture farther to our south. This is going to keep our precipitation chances through the weekend and possibly further quite low as we'll have the lift for showers/storms but the main ingredient for rain (moisture) doesn't look to return till later next week.
