.DISCUSSION...
Showers were pushing east across the area early Friday morning.
These will largely be focused east of I-57 after sunrise, and
quickly depart by mid-morning. The rest of Friday will feature
seasonably warm temps once again climbing into the 60s and breezy
westerly winds (gusting around 25 mph). Ventilation will be good
today, but fuels may be a bit damp due to the overnight rainfall.
Most of Saturday morning will be dry with increasing cloud cover,
then rain moves in from west to east during the afternoon, with
widespread precipitation expected during the evening. Ahead of the
rain, winds will be much lighter than Friday, resulting in poor
ventilation. Temperatures turn much colder for Sunday and Monday,
with high temperatures struggling to reach 40 degrees. Breezy
northwesterly winds both days should improve ventilation.
