Expect scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms today as the storm system that brought the showers heads for the East Coast Friday morning. That will allow a high pressure ridge to cross our area Friday. This will allow for partly sunny skies and pleasant temperatures. Our next system comes at us from the Southern Plains but does not get here till Sunday. This will mean a warmer day Saturday with partly sunny skies.
