Warm with a Chance of Showers and T-Storms

Scattered showers moved through the area this afternoon and earlier this evening, but those have since pushed off to our east.  Before that rain moved in and cooled us off, we reached a high temperature of 82°. As shown in the graphic below, we expect highs in the low to mid 80s tomorrow as well as for the rest of this week.

The showers have moved out for tonight.  However, as shown below, rain chances will return later in the day tomorrow and continue into Thursday as a weak cold front moves through the area.  These showers and storms will be a little hit or miss.  However, since this will be a typical, warm, moist, summer-like environment, any storms that develop will have some instability to feed off of.  This means that, although it is not likely, it is possible that we could see a strong or severe storm pop up. So, we will keep an eye on that.

Overall, the next few days will be much of the same with temperatures in the low to mid 80s and chances of showers and thunderstorms.  That trend will continue into the start of next week.  No major changes are expected for a while.  Summer tends to bring rather consistent weather patterns.  It looks as if that may already be starting since each day’s forecast looks very similar to the day before.

Forecast:

Tonight:  Mostly cloudy skies, lows near 66, and winds out of the south at around 5-10 mph.

Tomorrow:  Partly sunny skies, a 20% chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms, highs near 84°, and winds out of the southwest at around 6-12 mph.

Tomorrow Night:  Mostly cloudy skies, a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms, lows near 64°, and light winds out of the south.

Thursday:  Partly sunny skies, a slight chance of showers, highs near 84°, and winds out of the south at around 3-6 mph.

Thanks for reading, and have a great night!
