Friday will feature a quiet weather pattern as temperatures migrate into the 40s for daytime highs. Gusty winds will bring in a soaking rain Friday night into the start of the weekend. Saturday will be warm, windy & wet with the air warming into the lower 60s (close to the record of 61 set in 1899), but winds will gust over 50-55mph during the afternoon and evening.
