Weekend Forecast
The weekend will start great after a front flies through early Thursday morning. This will take our temperatures down a few degrees but give us a northerly wind. As the weekend progresses temperatures will start to head back up taking us to the mid to upper 70s by Saturday. A chance of drizzle and an isolated shower or two possible Sunday night.
