This stubborn system is finally forecast to give way to high pressure by Friday, potentially delivering a very nice spring weather situation for our first weekend of May — hang in there!

Mostly light, scattered showers are possible, especially by afternoon. Winds whip from the southwest at 10-15 mph with gusts around 20-30 mph. Confidence: Medium-High

A look ahead
Thursday begins an improvement effort with partly sunny conditions, still a shower chance, and temperatures warming slightly into the lower to maybe even middle 60s. A few clouds continue Thursday night with lows in the 40s. Confidence: Medium-High
Friday is the best day of this workweek with partly to maybe mostly sunny skies as highs climb into the middle to upper 60s, which is still cooler than normal, but warmer than Monday through Thursday. Friday night has some coolness in the air with lows ranging through the 40s under a few clouds. Confidence: Medium-High
Our weekend is still looking mighty fine, thanks to mostly sunny skies Saturday and sunny conditions Sunday. Highs should reach to around 70 on Saturday and could climb into the lower to middle 70s by Sunday (back to near normal!) Saturday night should be mostly clear with cool lows from the upper 40s to low 50s. Confidence: Medium
