Highlights:
- Unseasonably cool to open the new week
- Dry pattern most of the week
- Storm chances increase late week
Beneficial rains fell across the area Saturday and today we’re left with a cloudy, drizzly, and much cooler regime. It certainly won’t feel like May 31st and June will also open on a much cooler than normal note. Jackets will be required this afternoon. Most of the upcoming week will feature dry skies along with a warming trend once to mid week. Moisture will increase Thursday and we’ll introduce a chance of scattered thunderstorms Thursday into Friday.

Highlights:
- Less humid today
- Best rain chances Saturday, but plenty of dry time too
- Much cooler early next week
High pressure and a northeast flow will help provide a much less humid feel today, but it’ll still be warm. Moisture will slowly increase again Friday and isolated to widely scattered storm coverage will return. Best rain and storm chances will arrive Saturday afternoon and evening as a cold front passes through the region, but we want to make sure we also stress there will be plenty of dry time, as well. The big story early next week will be a MUCH cooler air mass moving into the region. Models are behaving in an inconsistent manner Sunday in regards to the timing and position of the frontal passage. As of now, we’re leaning towards the drier solutions, but stay tuned.

Highlights:
- Strong to severe storms possible Tuesday afternoon/ evening
- Drier skies Thursday-Friday
- Weekend cold front
Forecast radar above (courtesy of Weatherbell.com) shows our next weather concern and that has to do with an upper air disturbance moving northeast tonight into Tuesday. This will likely ignite scattered strong to severe thunderstorms across the area Tuesday afternoon and evening. Remain weather-aware tomorrow for the possibility of these severe storms. Large hail is the big concern. Should we see morning sunshine of significance then that would “up the ante” for afternoon severe potential. We remain in a rather unsettled, warm, and humid pattern this week, but there will be plenty of dry time. Coverage of thunderstorms Thursday and Friday will be diminished from what we can expect tomorrow and Wednesday. A cold front will arrive over the weekend, helping to increase shower and thunderstorm coverage.
A blend of short and mid range computer guidance prints out an average of 1.5″-2″ of rain over the upcoming ten days. This is needed after what’s been several weeks in a row of a lack of widespread rains.
