Rain wraps back in across the region on Friday afternoon and evening, as most areas in the valley bottom make their way into the low 20s for a daytime high.

The first full weekend of July is shaping up to be unsettled as well, as rain lingers at times on Saturday before becoming spottier showers on Sunday with sunny breaks possible, particularly early in the day.
