Friday continues with stubborn mostly cloudy skies and highs in the 70s. The chance of isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms could return during the afternoon into night. Friday night looks partly cloudy with lows in the mid-50s to near 60. Confidence: Medium
Saturday still has a chance of a few showers and a thunderstorm as low pressure lingers overhead. Skies may turn partly sunny as afternoon highs warm to the upper 70s to near 80. Saturday night is mostly clear with lows near 60. Confidence: Low-Medium
Sunday looks to be a pretty nice start to June with partly to mostly sunny skies and highs in the mid-70s to low 80s. Confidence: Medium
Next week should start near normal for the first week of June, with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s. But they may shift to the mid-80s to near 90 for the first time this season by the middle to later part of the week.
