FORECAST: Staying dry through early Friday afternoon. After that, no guarantees. Showers and a few storms move back in. We get another break Saturday morning / midday before more afternoon and evening scattered rain and storms.

I'm going to lower Saturday's rain chance slightly.
Yes, it's still going to rain (unfortunately) - but it looks a little more scattered than it once did with longer breaks.
The morning and midday may be a good time to get out.

We've gotten over 6 inches of rain since I talked about it being dry.
