Clear for Now; Showers Over the Weekend

Today has been clear for the most part. It's been a bit breezy as well. Clear to partly cloudy skies should continue through the night. Showers should arrive late tomorrow, and last through Sunday morning. Nothing to cancel any plans over, but keep the umbrella at hand. Calm weather should return for the workweek, with a warm-up possibly on-deck. The next chance for a larger storm comes late next workweek. Details are sketchy, but once again thunderstorms are possible.
