Thursday will be partly sunny, with high temperatures in the upper 70s. 

It will become breezy in the afternoon before the system arrives, with gusts of 20 miles per hour or more.

Precipitation starting at night will continue in the early morning hours of Friday.

Rain and showers will occur at times during the day Friday through Friday night before conditions dry out for the weekend.

Saturday, Sept. 21, will be partly sunny and pleasant, with a high temperature in the low to mid-70s.

On Sunday, Sept. 22, expect a mix of sun and clouds and a high temperature of around 70 degrees.

The outlook for Monday, Sept. 23, calls for sunny skies and a high temperature in the upper 60s.
