The weekend looks better than the end of the workweek, but it'll still be breezy. That's especially true for Saturday, when a stray shower is also still possible. Sunday sees temps start to rebound, with a better chance for showers late that night. But we’ll clear out pretty quickly.
Next week promises to be warmer-than-normal, which is good news for all of us ready for consistent spring temperatures.
