Mansfield's Weekend Weather Forecast Includes Chance of Showers, Thunderstorms

We could wish that today’s forecast is what we’d end up with for Saturday. Before we get to the weekend though, we’re looking at a picture perfect weather day on Thursday with sunny skies and temps in the high 60s to 70 degrees.

Friday is even slightly better with sunny skies and temps around 70 degrees.

Saturday probably will be the worst of the two days as showers and thunderstorms are possible early in the morning, and then it will be mostly cloudy for the remainder of the day.

The sun will return on Sunday and with high temperatures approaching the mid 70s.
