Starting with some fog and clouds, skies on Friday will gradually clear and the temperature will reach a high of about 71, according to the National Weather Service.
A north wind of 6 to 9 mph is in today’s forecast. The weather service says increasing temperatures are expected heading into the weekend as winds change from the north to the south.
There is a chance of cold core (or “cold air”) funnels developing this afternoon in the region due to unstable conditions and preexisting rotation through the depth of the atmosphere. These funnels very rarely form into very weak tornadoes, but can extend well over halfway to the surface.
Storm chances will return by late Sunday afternoon and evening, according to the weather service. A few of these storms could be strong.
More widespread storm chances are expected Tuesday into Wednesday, the weather service said.
