Chances of rain decrease throughout Friday
Posted:
Update:
Rain is expected mainly during the morning hours on Friday as our front crosses through the first half of the day. A few more isolated showers are still possible in the afternoon, but there’s a good chance most of us will be on the cloudier side of things compared to the rainier side. Highs in the upper 70s are expected.
Saturday is a tough day, we will likely see rain and / or showers at some point as a warm front rises in our area. The timing, for now, is set for the afternoon and evening, leaving the morning hours drier if you’re trying to make plans. Highs in the upper 70s and low 80s are expected.
Sunday will be another hot and humid day as a Bermuda high pressure exerts its influence on the region. The rain will be a little more widespread as a wave of low pressure “sweeps” over our region when it reaches the outer edge of the high pressure area. We will likely see scattered showers and storms throughout the day. Highs in the 80s.
There is a low potential (level 1 in 5) of severe weather events in our area on Sunday. Right now, it doesn’t seem very likely that we’ll see much weather, if at all, but at least we have some of the ingredients present to create a few stronger storms. These are likely to be strong winds, and small hail will be the main concern. if we see anything.
On Monday, more showers and thunderstorms are possible, especially during the second half of the day, as our system stalls towards our east. Highs will rise in at least the mid-1980s as long as the southerly flow remains in place.
Tuesday also seems unstable, no rest for the tired here. Showers and thunderstorms will return throughout the day as our low collapses on the edge of our strong Bermuda High. Abundant humidity will be left behind and combined with the heat of the day should help storms start.
Wednesday we still have a lot of humidity in the area. As we warm up into the ’80s, we’ll see another big turn in the afternoon of the day and into the evening. We will need to monitor the risk of flooding by Tuesday or Wednesday as rainfall totals will start to accumulate and the ground will likely be quite saturated in many areas.
Thursday has some hints that it could be on the drier side, but clouds will still be a constant feature throughout the day over much of the region. The showers will likely break through the cloud cover here or there, but should be more secluded in nature than the previous days. Highs between the low and mid-80s are expected.
As the end of next week approaches, it looks like we are clearing our blocking high a bit, but until the end of the 10 day forecast it looks like we are maintaining our grip on the area. Despite the rain at least we will stay in the 80s.
