Up Next: Temperatures will be near 80° on Thursday afternoon. Overnight temperatures will be a bit warmer too, in the 60s on Thursday night. On Friday, our next cold front will approach from the northwest. This one is expected to be a significant rainmaker. Rain will start up early, before sunrise and rain will become widespread by 7 a.m. There will be rain on and off through the morning and we will dry up in time for the evening commute on Friday. Preliminary rainfall totals are expected to be 1-3 inches with isolated higher amounts. It is possible that the typical problem spots hold water on Friday. Keep an eye out for the low spots. As the front passes, cooler air and windy conditions will move in on the other side. The weekend will be dry, but you may need to break out the winter gear.
