FORECAST DISCUSSION
Normal high: 73°F. Normal low: 51°F.
High pressure will briefly build in, making for a very nice end to the work week with lots of sunshine and seasonably cool temperatures in the upper 60s. Winds will also be light, from the north at 5 to 10 miles per hour.
Then a low pressure system will bring a return of showers to the region on Saturday, although at this point I don't think the day will be a total washout, and the precipitation forecast has decreased slightly. It will be a bit breezy, though, with southwest winds gusting to 30 mph at times.
Sunday is looking like a great day for Mother's Day, with partly cloudy skies and comfortably warm afternoon highs near 80°F.
More welcome rain chances arrive late Sunday into Monday, and then again late Wednesday into Thursday.
In the long range, temperatures are expected to average above normal, and precipitation above near normal for May 14 - May 20.
