It’s going to be another nice day out there as we bring the work week to a close, but there are some more storms in our forecast for the weekend that you should plan for. Expect temperatures to warm a bit today and Saturday ahead of a cold front that will sweep across the region Saturday afternoon and evening. And, as the cold front sweeps through Saturday, this will bring a threat of showers and thunderstorms with it. Otherwise, expect a pleasant end to the weekend as cooler drier air filters in across the region behind Saturday’s front. Here’s the 7-day forecast from the National Weather Service:
