As this low pressure pulls away, it's going to bring the precipitation with it, so that means your Friday will be dry.

It also will get nicer and nicer out as the day wears on with more and more sunshine.

Don't expect temperatures to be as warm as they have been with highs Friday in the low to mid 50s.

If you have plans to be outside this weekend, try to make those plans for Saturday because that will be the pick day of the weekend with sun and highs in the mid 50s.

More showers will start to move in Sunday,
