...Cool through Saturday...

The below average temperatures continue through Saturday. Wet today, but drier weather in store Tuesday through most of Thursday. Then generally rainy Thursday night to Saturday. We may be able to salvage some decent weather for the holiday weekend Sunday/Monday with some drying/warming, but there is low confidence in how much improvement we get after Saturday.
