CommuteCast: Clouds on the Increase
Warm Friday with increasing rain chances
Temperatures have risen into the upper 50s so far today and will likely top out right around 60 degrees for many locations. Mostly sunny skies will slowly give way to an increase in clouds for the remainder of the afternoon, and the commute home will be dry.
Tonight: Clouds will continue to increase overnight and there is a slight risk of showers due to a warm front moving north through the region -- most locations will not see any rain overnight. With clouds overhead and a wind from the south beginning to transport in warmer and more moist air, overnight lows will only fall to the low and mid 40s across the area.
Tomorrow: Friday will be warm and cloudy with increasing chances of precipitation during the day. Most of the day should be dry and the best chance for rain will come during the evening hours. Even as rain chances increase, it appears that precipitation totals tomorrow will be rather light across the area. Highs will top out in the mid and upper 60s across the area, and if enough sun breaks through some 70-degree readings will be possible.

Canadian lightning update: Isolated strikes in Central Plains, UT and ID.
Sterling is indicating that heaviest precipitation Saturday could be in those areas around Fredericksburg and south of us with moderate drought still in effect.

Canadian lighting is a form of lightning that was owned by the British, they forced the poor Canadians to pay a high tax for it...but when Canada got her sovereignty, the lightning became their own. ;)

Mike,
Too rich! LMAO.
Ana B,
El Bombo will have to fill in all the blanks about "Canadian Lightning", as he has been reporting using this feature for some years now. However, I believe it is a Canadian website that reports on lightning strikes in, atleast, North America.
Of course he will correct me if I am wrong, as should be.
Maybe some wet snow on the back end of the second storm system late Saturday into Sunday AM, especially western suburbs.

There would be nothing better than to have some "unexpected" snow this weekend!
