A few showers and storms moved through the state late Friday night and into Saturday morning. After what we saw on Friday afternoon and evening with damaging severe storms, we are not concerned for a repeat of that this weekend.

We woke up to partial sunshine on Saturday morning - a sign of things to come. However, breezy to gusty northwest winds are expected to pick up today, as well. Afternoon temperatures climb into the mid to upper 80s, making it feel more like early summer, especially as a portion of the day will feature high levels of humidity. The good news is that humidity will decrease through the day and therefore comfort levels increase! Skies remain clear into Saturday night, with cooler temperatures dropping into the upper 50s and low 60s.

Sunday will bring more pleasant conditions, with sunshine and noticeably cooler highs in the mid-70s. Clear skies will allow temperatures to dip back into the 50s Sunday night.

The new workweek starts off dry and sunny on Monday with highs in the mid-70s, but changes are on the horizon. Clouds increase Tuesday ahead of the next storm system.

Rain is possible as early as Tuesday night, continuing through much of Wednesday and at least part of Thursday. Temperatures will turn unseasonably cool midweek - highs Wednesday may struggle to reach the low 60s, with some spots remaining in the upper 50s. Similar conditions are expected Thursday before showers taper off.

The week ahead looks quite spring-like with showers and a few temperature swings. Stick with the WJZ First Alert weather team for updates on all the changes ahead as we head into late May.
