Staying dry and warm Friday, showers and storms by Saturday

Clear, calm conditions may reveal the northern lights tonight for observers in northern skies. Friday is shaping up as a pleasant and mostly dry day, with partial sunshine and temperatures climbing into the mid-80s.

As a cold front approaches, Saturday is expected to bring scattered showers and the potential for a few thunderstorms, along with higher humidity. Highs should reach the mid to upper 70s.

Sunday looks to bring another round of showers, though the threat of storms should be lower. Temperatures will dip into the 60s and around 70, with drier air and more sun likely by evening.

Looking ahead, warmer, summer-like conditions appear likely to return for much of the upcoming week, bringing more sunshine and daytime heat.
