Those showers will end Saturday morning as our fall rainmaker continues to slide eastward.
Saturday will be mostly cloudy and cool with highs in the upper 40s to mid 50s. Winds diminished overnight and will remain on the tame side. Isolated afternoon sprinkles are possible.
Dry Sunday and early next week
High pressure from Manitoba will bring us a pleasant Sunday. Skies will probably start out cloudy with some partial clearing likely in the afternoon.
Monday and Tuesday will be dry days, as well. A disturbance from the northwest could bring some showers on Wednesday.
Tuesday might end up being the nicest day of the week for outdoor activities.
