Partly Cloudy, Warm

A few clouds have kept temperatures around 54 this morning. A few high clouds will pass by at times today, but they should do very little to hold temperatures down. A cutoff low moving out of the Rockies has amplified a ridge across our region, which will allow temperatures to soar into the 70s this afternoon. I think we'll top out around 77. By this evening, clouds will be on the increase, especially after midnight, and this will keep temperatures mild overnight. The low tomorrow morning will be near 56.

If you have any plans for the first night of Super Bulldog Weekend, the weather will be great with temperatures in the 60s. Saturday will feature mostly cloudy skies and there could be some showers in the afternoon. It might be a good idea to carry a poncho or an umbrella to the baseball game and football scrimmage. Highs on Saturday will be in the low to mid 70s. If you're headed to the Old Main Music Fest, there is a chance for some light rain, but I think the concert should be mostly dry. Sunday looks really wet as a strong cold front approaches the state. I think the heaviest rain will begin just before sunrise and will last through the early afternoon hours. Highs will be in the lower 70s on Sunday. Whether the baseball game on Sunday is played or not is questionable, but the game could be pushed to 4 p.m. and likely be played if the field drains. Get out and try to enjoy the weekend to its fullest tonight and Saturday morning. A deepening upper air trough over the Eastern U.S. early next week will glance the area so highs will be in the 60s Monday and Tuesday.
