Outlook
A cool wedge of high pressure will linger over the area for the first part of the day. A weak low-pressure system will track from the Gulf Coast to the Carolina Coasts today and Saturday, which will spread precipitation back into the region. High pressure will bring dry and milder weather to start next week.
