however, will increase back to 25-30 miles per hour for most of
the day on Saturday. Scattered showers will begin to move through
the area this afternoon and into tonight beginning a wetter period
heading into the weekend. Rainfall amounts will vary widely due

expected across the northern portions of the area. A cold front
will move through the area Saturday evening with a return to dry
and breezy conditions Saturday night into Sunday. Relative
humidities could dip back to near 30% on Sunday with gusts 20-30
