Sunny skies today; Possible showers for the 4th Posted 2009-05-20 10:05:20
Another gorgeous day today with sunny skies dominating the county accompanied by cool highs in the upper 70's - low 80's; Winds out of the north around 10mph. Tonight we will experience another cool low in the low-mid 50's under partly cloudy skies which will allow tomorrow to rebound into the low - mid 80's under partly cloudy skies. Independence Day will be somewhat cloudy with more clouds arriving during the afternoon hours setting up a slight chance for rain after 4pm. The rain chances will be confined to the favored locations such as the Plott Balsams, the Parkway, and Whiteside. Saturday Night looks to be a wet one but mainly after midnight as the air takes some time to cool down with a low around the low 60's. Overall fireworks look to go off without a hitch with the after party showing some concern of being canceled. We grab another chance for rain at the start of the week but return to sunny skies by Tuesday.
