Posted: Our weather is transitioning into a dry and milder pattern this weekend. We get a chance to dry out and enjoy some less humid air for a change. It’s a setup that will stick around for several days. Rain chances will gradually return but it’s going to be well into next week before that happens. In the meantime, we’re sitting on the backside of a cold front and that’s allowing a fresh batch of dry air to settle over us.
