The forecast from FOX 17 Weather Ready Meteorologist Kara James: A warmer and active few days are ahead, as chances for rain and a few thunderstorms increase to end the week. Scattered showers are expected overnight, with more widespread rain chances through tomorrow. Waves of rain on and off will keep highs limited to the mid-40s Thursday. Rain totals around a tenth to quarter inch. Another stronger system brings more rain later Friday into Saturday morning, and a few thunderstorms as well. Some could be on the stronger side with gusty winds. Temperatures Friday through Sunday will be well above average in the 50s and 60s. There are indications that we my cool down closer to seasonable levels by the middle to end of next week, so don't get used to the Spring weather quiet yet!
