Tomorrow (Friday): With a lot more sun to work with, the day warms up nicely. Highs are mainly in the upper 50s, but a few low 60s are possible downtown and points south. Confidence: Medium-High

A look ahead
Saturday may start out fairly calm, with just a few light showers, but as the storm passes conditions deteriorate. Locally heavy downpours are possible, and winds quickly build from the northwest. Temperatures could be near 50 in the morning but are likely to drop 15 to 20 degrees in the afternoon. That gives us the chance for rain showers to briefly change to snow showers or flurries. The arrival of drier air is likely to cut short any notable accumulation. As the cold spills in, winds during the afternoon could gust over 40 mph. Temperatures plunge even more at night, with lows in the upper teens and low 20s and wind chills dipping to near 10 amid gusts over 30 mph. Confidence: Medium
