What was that line about shorter weather articles? It’s another “less from the meteorologist = more time outside” kind of day, and kind of weekend.
On Wednesday, we had a couple millimeters of rain and a reasonably solid shot at a weak thunderstorm in our forecast for Friday. Then Thursday’s forecast dropped the thunderstorm potential like a bad habit. Today, even the shower potential for this evening has fallen off drastically; we may see a few sprinkles of rain, but, with a dryer surface layer, even that’s looking less likely. The best chance for rain occurs from 7 pm through 9 pm
The remainder of the weekend forecast is unchanged from yesterday’s article; we’ll experience a glut of additional warmth on Sunday, but Saturday is also aiming above the seasonal marker. The chance of a spotty overnight shower persists.
Monday has joined in as a “well above seasonal” sort – and Tuesday remains a little cooler, relatively speaking. The reason: it’s at the onset of a high pressure ridge. We usually spend a day in the entry region (shown in the image, here) before piling into a wave of heat. That’ll be the lead for us next week.
