WHAT WE ARE TRACKING: Showers and thunderstorms continue through Friday evening, and dry conditions return on Saturday.  Rain returns by late Sunday.

NEXT 24 HRS:

Once this activity pushes east of the area later in the morning, additional showers and a few thunderstorms are possible throughout Friday and Friday evening.  With cloud cover and a brisk north wind, temperatures remain steady in the 50s.  Showers will come to an end later Friday night night with cloud cover decreasing after midnight.
