Sunny Weekend! 

If you're reading this early Friday evening, you can anticipate a line of showers and thundershowers to move through Friday night. The showers and storms could, in some areas, produce strong wind and hail. The rest of the weekend will be sunny with temperatures near the seasonal average. The seasonal average high happens to be 24, so the weekend will be nearly ideal. Rainy, cool weather returns after the weekend.
