Weather prospects are looking up for the 81st Tulip Time festival this weekend.

Weathereye Meteorologist Brandon Fudali says anyone attending the celebration should expect great, late spring weather.

“We are seeing actually some fairly pleasant conditions for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday with plenty of sunshine outside as a high pressure system will continue to be pretty much the dominant weather feature throughout the region.”

A slight chance of showers and storms exists late Saturday night, but not much in the way of precipitation is expected otherwise. High temperatures will also likely be above normal.
