Weather Tomorrow: Storms Thursday Night, Gradual Cooling Trend into the Weekend
Weather Tomorrow brings a brief window of calm before a more active Thursday night, with scattered storms expected to move through and a cooling trend that settles in for Friday and the weekend. The Thursday-evening outlook shared by meteorologist Matthew Wine highlights the shift from breezy conditions earlier to a wind-driven system late in the night (ET).
Weather Tomorrow: Thursday night—breezy with scattered storms (ET)
The immediate threat is a Thursday night round of scattered storms, expected to be breezy and to end late. Temperatures overnight are forecast to fall into the upper 40s to low 50s, with southwest winds around 10-15 mph. Those conditions follow a relatively calm and breezy stretch earlier in the day before the atmosphere becomes more active by the evening hours (ET).
Matthew Wine's Thursday evening forecast emphasized the timing and character of the system: a wind-driven night with scattered storms that should taper off before dawn. The combination of gustier southwest winds and intermittent showers will make for a lively night for anyone planning to be outdoors late.
Cooling trend for Friday and the weekend: what to expect (ET)
After the Thursday night activity clears, the pattern turns drier and notably cooler. Friday is forecast to be mostly sunny but windy, with daytime highs dropping to the mid-50s and west winds increasing to 15-20 mph. That marks a clear cooldown from the previous milder conditions and will feel brisk, particularly in the afternoon when the stronger west winds are expected to be most persistent.
Friday night will be chillier, with only a few clouds and lows slipping into the mid-30s while west winds ease to about 5-10 mph. The overall message for the weekend is a gradual, steady cooling trend that follows the unsettled Thursday night, shifting conditions from breezy and damp to cooler and drier.
Practical takeaways for residents
Prepare for an active Thursday night if you have evening plans: scattered storms are expected to develop in the breezy conditions and should end late, with temperatures falling to the upper 40s and low 50s afterwards. Expect gusty southwest winds around 10-15 mph overnight (ET).
Plan for a windy Friday with highs in the mid-50s and west winds 15-20 mph; layers and wind-resistant outerwear will be useful. By Friday night, conditions will turn colder and calmer, dropping into the mid-30s with lighter west winds of 5-10 mph. The shift from scattered storms to a cooler, drier weekend is the headline change in the short-term outlook.
In summary, Weather Tomorrow will feature a brief calm that gives way to an active Thursday night with scattered storms, then a gradual cooling through Friday into the weekend. Keep an eye on late-evening conditions Thursday and expect a noticeably colder and windier Friday before the weekend settles into chillier, mostly dry weather.
