We saw a nice break after the big rains of the past few days. Sunshine was nice to see with highs climbing into the 70’s.  But, this was just a little breather.  There is more rain on the way as the next phase of this storm system begins to affect the area overnight tonight and on Friday.  A big, cold upper area of low pressure, up in the 20,000 foot level will dominate the forecast for the next couple of days. 

Clouds will roll back tonight along with the threat of more scattered showers.  Tomorrow, with warm air at the surface and cold air aloft, the stage is set for scattered showers and thunderstorms. Some storms could be strong or possibly severe, and there could be some hail in the stronger storms.  There could even be a few spotty showers as cooler air moves in on Friday night and Saturday with mostly cloudy skies.  Highs will cool down to near 60 for a high. 

Attention Spring Breakers:  The weather pattern starts to improve on Sunday as partly cloudy skies and highs in the middle 60’s  Much of the week ahead should be storm-free with plenty of sunshine and highs mainly in the 60’s.
