Drier air moving in ends any lingering stray light rain showers or flurries early this evening and clears skies out for tonight, allowing for colder temperatures in the upper 20s by Saturday morning. RH recovers into the upper 80s. High pressure building in from the west turns winds southwest for Saturday, with breezy winds frequently gusting 20-25 mph the remainder of the weekend. There is a 20-40% chance for gusts in excess of 30 mph on Saturday and 40-70% chance on Sunday. Temperatures trend warmer through the weekend, peaking in the low 50s on Saturday and near 60 on Sunday. Minimum RH will be much lower on Saturday (near 30%) than on Sunday where it falls into the upper 30s.
