Clouds will start to increase on Friday, but the warmer air mass will remain in place with highs in the middle to upper 70s expected.

Another upper level trough will move northeast out of the southern plains and across the region late this week into next weekend. Better moisture return should occur ahead of this system which will bring rain chances 40-60% to the area.
