For tonight, the overcast conditions continue with a couple of passing showers possible overnight. Temperatures will remain cold but fairly steady, with lows settling into the 30s. Damp conditions and patchy fog may linger through the night as the region remains under a thick blanket of clouds.
Saturday brings another day dominated by clouds, although temperatures will trend a bit milder. Afternoon highs are expected to climb into the mid and upper 40s. Rain showers are likely to develop Saturday night and continue into early Sunday morning. As the system moves away, clouds should gradually break later in the day Sunday, allowing for some late-day sunshine. Temperatures will also warm, with highs reaching into the 50s.
