NICE WEEKEND EXPECTED

A weak cold front pushed through the area on Friday. It brought with it a few showers and clouds the first half of the day, and what's moving in behind it? Well, not much of a change in our weather.

It'll continue to be sunny and warm during the afternoons, however, our mornings will be slightly cooler.

You'll notice that change early Saturday morning as lows bottom out in the upper 50s here in town with lower to middle 50s across our inland and northern cool spots.

High pressure will be building in for the weekend and this will set the stage for a beautiful Saturday under mostly sunny skies. Even though temperatures will recover into the 80s, our afternoons will feel quite pleasant with comfortable humidity values.

Our mainly dry weather pattern will stay firmly in place through the first half of the week with plenty of sunshine and highs in the lower to middle 80s.

By Wednesday, we'll be tracking another cold front moving across the "Sunshine State" with the potential for another round of rain and a cool down by the end of next week.
