Rain due, but not Humberto's
We'll likely see some gathering clouds today and showers tonight as a cold front approaches from the north and west. But it looks like the remnants of Hurricane Humberto will stay to our south, a disappointment to anyone looking for some significant relief from the summer's drought.
Instead, forecasters out at Sterling are calling for only a "slight" chance of showers after lunch today, then a stronger chance for more showers tonight. But don't expect more than a few tenths of an inch.
If you're worrying about too much rain for the weekend rather than too little, you're in luck. We could still see a few showers Saturday morning, but forecasters say the cold front should work through by noon, bringing us clearing skies, cool temperatures and breezy conditions for the rest of the weekend and into Monday. Great days for the bike trail, or sailing.
Keep a blanket handy. Overnight lows Saturday and Sunday nights will dip into the 40s. We're looking at sunshine and highs in the 70s through mid-week. That's 5 to 10 degrees below the long-term averages for this time of year. Nice.
