Rain Moves In Thursday, Then a Mostly Sunny Weekend

Thursday starts with patchy fog before 10 a.m., then the clouds take over. The National Weather Service calls for a chance of rain through the day, with a high near 70 degrees and temperatures sliding to around 66 in the afternoon. A south wind of 3 to 9 mph could gust as high as 22 mph. The chance of rain is 50 percent.

The rain settles in Thursday night. Expect rain and patchy fog, with a low around 59 and temperatures rising to about 61 overnight. Rainfall amounts between a quarter and a half inch are possible, and the chance of precipitation is 80 percent.

Friday stays wet. Rain and patchy fog continue through the day, with a high near 69 and temperatures falling to around 64 in the afternoon. The chance of rain is 90 percent, and another quarter to a half inch could fall. Winds stay light out of the southwest.

The rain tapers off Friday night. A chance of rain lingers before 1 a.m., then clouds give way, with a low around 50.

Saturday is the turnaround. The day starts mostly sunny, with a chance of rain arriving only after 1 p.m. and amounting to less than a tenth of an inch. The high reaches 64, falling to around 58 in the afternoon. Saturday night brings a chance of rain and a low around 41.

Sunday clears out. A slight chance of rain before 7 a.m. gives way to mostly sunny skies and a high near 59. Sunday night turns mostly clear and cold, with a low around 36.

The dry stretch holds into next week. Monday is sunny with a high near 58, and Tuesday is sunny with a high near 61. Veterans Day, Wednesday, looks sunny with a high near 58.

For Saturday plans, the morning is the safer bet: the Festival of Crafts at Whisconier Middle School runs 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and the household hazardous waste drop-off at Brookfield High School runs 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Both fall before the afternoon rain chance.
