Good morning everyone! Warm day yesterday for Mother’s Day with showers and storms in the evening. Leftover showers first half of the day today while tomorrow will be dry and cooler than normal. Increasing chance of some showers Wednesday during the second part of the day. Second part of the week we will see temperatures warm right back up.
Rain can be expected during the first half of the day today, wrapping up by 2:00 PM. It is not going to be a lot and will switch between mist and light rain. Other words, it is a dreary start to the week. Morning temperatures will be in the low 50s with showers ongoing. Due to clouds sticking around, we are unlikely to warm up a whole lot in the afternoon with highs reaching the upper 50s. A few spots will probably reach 60˚F.
Tomorrow will be seasonably cool, but at least it will be dry. Morning temperatures will be in the low 50s with plenty of sunshine. Northern suburbs will be a few degrees below that, good idea to keep that jacket on you. Should be able to shed it in the afternoon with comfortable temperatures. Not overly warm, but not going to call it cool either. Highs get to the mid to upper 60s with plenty of sunshine.
Rain is becoming increasingly likely Wednesday during the second part of the day. Watch out for stronger gusts up to 25 mph most of the day. Morning temperatures will be warmer in the upper 50s with plenty of cloud-cover. Rain will arrive in the afternoon with highs climbing to to the low 70s
Rain should wrap up before sunrise, with off chance of sprinkles during the day. Morning temperatures will be in the mid 50s with plenty of sunshine. Northwest breeze will result in lower temperatures in the mid 60s.
Warmer day to end the week on Friday, but we won’t be talking 80s quite yet. Morning temperatures will be in the mid 50s with plenty of sunshine. Near seasonable temperatures in the afternoon with highs near 70˚F.
