So, bring a rain jacket or umbrella, but the lightning will be gone by dark.
We should be pretty clear, although cloudy, in the morning.
As cooler, drier air pours in from the north, an upper level disturbance will swing down the back side of the departing trough. This will cloud us up and may bring intermittent rain in late morning and into the afternoon. It shouldn’t be much, but the weather models are calling for it.

The chill in the air is a thing of the past.
An arriving area of low pressure aloft, despite weak high pressure at the surface, means rain chances are back.
Without an obvious rain-initiating, trackable feature, timing/ETA/amounts are difficult. Our best thinking is:
