A surface low will dip down into our area today. Moisture will increase while a warm front develops to our east. Clouds will gradually increase during the day.

There will be no rain in the forecast today since this system is fairly weak. Once the evening arrives we will see a mostly cloudy sky.

Enough instability will be in place during the evening hours for showers to increase across our area.

(Editor’s Note: HRRR (see below) gives us a little more hope than the NAM4 of a rain-free Friday evening. Not expecting a washout, but don’t be surprised if you see a few sprinkles.)
