Warmer weather takes over for the next two days with temps in the upper 70s today, and mid 80s tomorrow. This is above our normal high of 73 for early May. Our next weathermaker arrives on Friday and this will bring some scattered showers and thunderstorms back into the area as a series of slow-moving low pressure systems work across the Midwest. Upper air energy this weekend will be strongest to our west, but we will monitor storms Friday afternoon and evening in case they become strong. The biggest chances come Friday and Saturday. Lingering showers will be around Sunday and Monday.
