There is more cloud cover around today, but otherwise it’s about the same as the past couple afternoons…very pleasant outside. Scattered morning sprinkles south and west of the metro have about dried up, and we may see a bit of a decreasing trend to the cloud cover this afternoon. While skies are not completely quiet in the region and a warm front will be lifting back to the north through Thursday, rain chances are almost non-existent for us (much like with this morning’s sprinkles) and we just expect passing clouds for the most part. Behind that warm front on Friday, we have a chance at hitting 90 degrees, and humidity levels will jump right into that uncomfortable range too. Saturday will be a hot and steamy day before a cold front moves through late, and we think that could provide the recipe for some strong to severe thunderstorms late in the day and into the overnight. That cold front is expected to move out of the area by Sunday afternoon, but there could still be some rain and storms around on Sunday morning. As we head into next week, that cold front that moves out of the area Sunday morning could lift back to the north as a warm/stationary front on Monday and into Tuesday providing the focus for more showers and thunderstorm activity – and then by Wednesday as it lifts further to the north, we could find ourselves firmly in the warm sector and see a couple humid 90-degree afternoons on Wednesday and Thursday. Stay tuned!
