Sunny Friday Before Weekend Thunderstorm Chances Arrive

June 5, 2026

A gorgeous, sun-filled Friday will kick off the upcoming week before scattered rain and thunderstorm chances return just in time for the weekend. High temperatures will steadily climb from the mid-80s on Friday into the upper 80s by early next week. While Saturday and Sunday both carry a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, the region will still see some partial sunshine between any developing downpours. A brief drop in rain chances on Monday gives way to a more active, wet weather pattern by the middle of next week.
