While the National Weather Service says Friday, July 19, could prove to be a big soggy with rain chances around 60 percent, Saturday and Sunday are expected be much nicer days.
“(We’ll see) generally a drying trend,” said meteorologist Andrew Garcia.
That said, Garcia warns that rain chances still exist over the weekend. They’re hovering around 30 to 40 percent for both Saturday and Sunday. But, forecasters anticipate storms will follow a more normal summer afternoon pattern this weekend at least.
