Scattered Storm Chances Through Sunday Morning; Much Cooler Next Week…
Highlights:
- Scattered storm chances continue
- Much cooler next week
- Midweek showers return
Watching For Afternoon And Evening Storms…We’re starting the day with low clouds, fog, and a chilly easterly breeze. That said, a warm front will begin to lift north this afternoon, allowing a warmer and increasingly muggy feel to return. Scattered thunderstorms will also increase in overall coverage later this afternoon and evening. While widespread heavy rains aren’t anticipated, localized heavy downpours are possible in slower moving, stronger storms.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will remain Sunday morning, but a cold front will pass around lunchtime with drier air arriving by the afternoon hours. If you have plans outdoors Sunday, the afternoon and evening looks absolutely beautiful with a more pleasant air mass building in with those drier conditions.
Unsettled conditions return Tuesday into Wednesday with unseasonably cool air. As of now, the early outlook for the big race weekend and Memorial Day holiday is a dry one, with just a scattered shower chance Saturday. Stay tuned.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.50″ – 1.00″ (Locally heavier amounts)
Unsettled Stretch Of Weather Ahead…
Highlights:
- Scattered storms
- Turning cooler next week
- Continued unsettled
Periods Of Storms In The Days Ahead…While we’ll have more dry time than not into the weekend, multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms can be expected as we close the work week and move into the weekend. With a moisture-rich air mass in place, locally heavy rain is possible. Storms will reach most widespread coverage during the afternoon and evening hours through Saturday.
A cold front will sweep through the state Sunday with scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms followed by drier, cooler air for Monday.
As we progress through next week, the region will remain in a much cooler, challenging northwest flow. Individual disturbances will race southeast and result in continued unsettled weather as race weekend and the Memorial Day holiday draws closer. We’ll keep a very close eye on things. The balance of next week will be significantly cooler than average.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 1.50″ – 2.00″

Better Chance Of Afternoon/ Evening Storms Today; Big Cool Down Looming…
Highlights:
- Scattered PM storms fire up
- Warm, humid, but mostly dry race day and Memorial Day
- Big cool down looming
Better Coverage Of PM Storms…A warm, humid, and increasingly unstable air mass will be present today. Throw in a couple weak upper level disturbances lifting through the region and we should see a better coverage of afternoon/ evening thunderstorm activity when compared to the past couple days. Some locally heavy rainfall will be possible.
Thankfully, aerial coverage of showers and storms will diminish Sunday and Memorial Day, itself. We’ll maintain mention of an isolated to widely scattered storm. Conditions will remain warm and humid.
Our next best chance of rain and storms will push in Thursday. This is in association with a cold front. Behind this cold front, expect a big push of refreshing, unseasonably cool air to blow into town to close the work week. Temperatures grow cooler next weekend (lows at night in the 40s are possible).
