Drying out for the rest of the holiday weekend
A few showers and thunderstorms will roll through Michiana early Friday evening. Not everyone will see storms, but those who do could experience gusty winds and heavy downpours.

A few sprinkles are possible by 8 AM Saturday, but they should clear before noon. Skies will gradually clear throughout the afternoon, with highs only in the 70s. Sunday will be a beautiful end to the holiday weekend, with sunny skies and highs in the middle 80s. Storm chances return Monday night into Tuesday.
