The best chance for measurable rain will be Saturday, although total rainfall will most likely be less than a half inch in most areas, with total rainfall today through Friday night no more than an inch. Not everyone will see rain, but those areas with multiple showers and thunderstorms could be in for the higher totals. Temperatures this weekend will be lower, but humidity levels will stay high. More showers may head our way with a warmup for the middle of next week.
