A little cooler than previously expected today and tomorrow, but still nice before the weekend rain:
- While there may be some patchy fog and drizzle early Saturday morning and a few scattered showers in the late afternoon, the main batch of rain is Saturday night into early to mid Sunday morning.
- Overall, next week looks dry, but on the cooler to near seasonable side as a potential late-week system should slide to our south, but then there is a chance for an end-of-month storm next weekend.
