One More Pleasant Day Before Warmth And Humidity Increases…

Screen Shot 2015-05-13 at 9.33.32 PMHighlights:

  • Another chilly start
  • Warmth and humidity on the uptick heading into the weekend
  • More dry hours than wet this weekend
  • Much cooler next week

We’ll enjoy one more beautiful day Thursday, though we’ll note an increase in afternoon cloudiness.  While a shower will be possible Thursday evening (courtesy of a warm front passing through the region), it won’t amount to much as dry air will “eat away” at what will look like a rather impressive surge of moisture to our west Thursday morning.  Once the warm front blows through tomorrow night, a much more humid and unseasonably warm air mass will engulf the region to wrap up the work week and head into the weekend.

A widely scattered storm will be possible, but there will be many more dry hours than wet.  Better coverage of showers and thunderstorms arrives Sunday night/ Monday as a cold front presses through the region.  Total rainfall potential between this weekend and Monday looks to fall in the half inch to one inch range for most.  A much cooler and drier air mass returns next week (even cooler than this current air mass).

1A light shower will be possible Thursday evening as a warm front lifts through the region.

2Warmth and humidity will be on the uptick Friday and continue through the weekend.  Prepare to sweat as dew points approach 70 degrees this weekend.

3Most widespread showers and thunderstorms will arrive Sunday evening into Monday, courtesy of a cold front passing through the region.

4A MUCH cooler air mass will settle into the Mid West region next week.  In fact, next week’s chill looks more impressive than our current cool air mass- both from a duration perspective and absolute temperature.
