The rain will continue Friday night into the day on Saturday. Friday night will be foggy too. Temperatures will be in the mid 40s. Winds will be from the east between five to ten mph.

Saturday will be chilly and soggy. We will start the morning off with a steady rain and it will taper off to showers for Saturday afternoon. It will be foggy too. Temperatures on Saturday will be in the upper 40s to lower 50s. This more seasonable for our average low temperatures this time of year, and not high temperatures. Winds will be from the east southeast between ten to fifteen mph.

Saturday night temperatures will be in the lower to mid 40s. Winds will be from the east between five to ten mph. We will start to see another round of steadier rain moving through with fog.

Sunday high temperatures will be in the lower to mid 60s. Sunday winds will be from the southeast between three to five mph. Sunday there will be some rain in the morning, and by the afternoon we will be cloudy. If we are lucky, I think we may see a few brief peeks of sunshine Sunday afternoon.

Monday for Memorial Day, we will have a variable cloudy sky with a shower or two. It does right now look to be one of the drier days of the weekend. Temperatures on Memorial Day will reach into the upper 60s to lower 70s. Winds will be from the west southwest between five to ten mph.
