Category: Unseasonably Warm
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″

Highlights:
- Sunshine and warmth continues
- Increasingly muggy feel develops
- Storm chances return
- Much cooler next week
Very Warm And Increasingly Humid…High pressure will supply continued dry conditions, along with unseasonably warm temperatures through midweek. A southwesterly air flow will help push an increasingly muggy feel into the region by Wednesday. “Air you can wear” will be an appropriate way to sum things up! 
That increasing moisture will eventually yield better coverage of showers and thunderstorms as we move through late week into the weekend. It certainly won’t rain the entire time, but periods of scattered thunderstorms will be with us Thursday through Monday morning. With high moisture content, locally heavy rains will be possible.
A cold front will move through the state Sunday night and Monday and result in a significantly cooler trend next week.

Happy Mother’s Day…High pressure will provide stellar weather conditions to celebrate mom outdoors today. Look for plentiful sunshine, low humidity, and warm temperatures. Enjoy the day!
Dry weather will continue through early week, along with progressively warmer conditions. A southwesterly air flow will also develop and help pull increasingly moist air out of the Gulf of Mexico northbound. It’s safe to say that humidity levels will grow into the “uncomfortable” category by midweek.
With that increasingly moist air mass in place and an approaching frontal system to our west, we’ll begin to increase scattered shower and thunderstorm chances by Thursday, continuing (in scattered fashion) into the weekend.
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.50″ – 1.00″

Highlights:
- Drier trend develops
- Warming up
- Summer-like feel next week
This Is More Like It…High pressure will build into the region over the weekend. With the exception of a weak disturbance that may kick up a couple showers across northeastern portions of the state Saturday, the balance of the upcoming 7-day period will be rain-free. This extended dry spell is certainly well deserved and should continue into early next week. Get out there and make the most of it!
A southwesterly air flow will help transport a warmer and increasingly muggy air mass into the region next week. While we’ll need to keep an eye on this increasingly moist and unstable air mass for storm chances, we’re siding with a more “optimistic” approach to the forecast period and hold storm chances off until Thursday. Regardless of storm chances, next week will certainly take on a more summer-like feel…to the delight of many!
Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast:
- Snowfall: 0.00″
- Rainfall: 0.50″ – 0.75″
