Shower chances remain low for high school football, increase slightly overnight

The fall-like chill is back. Thursday's cold front has put us right back where we were at the beginning of the week, leaving lows in the low 50s. 

This cooler start will pave the way for another cooler than average afternoon as a light but organized east to northeast wind leaves us in the mid 70s. I wouldn't be shocked with the way we warmed up yesterday to see a locale or two in the upper 70s. 

If you plan to attend week 1 of high school football, grab a sweatshirt or light jacket. Temperatures are expected to fall into the upper 60s to start, then in to the low 60s by the end of the games. You may also run into an isolated shower or two as another weak system dives in from the northwest. 

 

Forecast soundings show shower chances extend into the first half of Saturday morning, with overnight lows falling back into the low 50s. 

 

 

 

Once this weak disturbance departs, the rest of Labor Day weekend will be mainly dry. The only other chance we see for any rain will be a slim chance on Labor Day itself. Afternoon highs will gradually warm, climbing closer to average.
