Additional shower risks come back in Saturday into Sunday especially along south of I-70, with an upper-low bringing more shower chances late Sunday through Monday.  Rainfall during this period will be light and it won’t be constant, but definitely the idea is more clouds than sun along with unseasonably cool temperatures.
