Ford First Alert Weekend Forecast

Submitted by A.Hake, Web Producer

Friday, May 17th, 2013, 7:10am

We've got a great looking Friday ahead. Mostly sunny skies to start out the day, a few high clouds building in this afternoon into tonight. The wind coming off of the lake this afternoon will provide cooler temps along the lakeshore. Saturday will start out dry, just a spotty t-storm will develop in the afternoon. I expect the Marathon forecast to be pleasant on Sunday with a race start temp around 60 with a partly cloudy sky.

TODAY: Mostly sunny. High: 71 Wind: Light becoming NE at 5-10 mph

TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Low: 53 Wind: E at 5-10 mph

SATURDAY: Partly cloudy with an isolated showers or t-storm in the afternoon. High: 75

Popular vacations include an escape to the ocean or a visit to a large city like New York, Boston, Washington D.C., San Francisco or Chicago.
