Taste of Summer: Tuesday temps push into the 80s with isolated shower late today

Tuesday will be a drier day overall with more sunshine than not. Broken clouds remain but we manage to warm into the upper 70s and low 80s with southwest winds in control. The heat and humidity of the day will allow a shower or two to develop late into the afternoon. What does manage to form will fade quickly after sunset once again. The balminess remains for another muggy overnight with lows in the 60s.

Wednesday a cold front sits just west of our area throwing clouds and a scattered shower our way early on through the afternoon. As the front approaches, clouds thicken, winds increase 15-20mph and humidity rises. With highs managing the upper 70s and low 80s, scattered heavy downpours and isolated thunderstorms move southwest to northeast. While severe weather is not expected a strong storm or two can’t be ruled out as the front marches east late in the afternoon and early evening.

Thursday morning we’re still fighting to kick Wednesday cold front out with scattered showers, some heavy at times remaining. As the day goes the intensity and frequency of showers and isolated thunderstorms fade. Some sunshine is expected to peek through late into the afternoon to keep temps in the upper 70s and low 80s. It won’t be long, however, before cooler air rushes in from the west behind the cold front dropping temps into the upper 50s/low 60s for overnight lows.

Friday will trend drier but cooler as westerly winds continue to bring in cooler air. Highs struggle quite a bit into the upper 60s for some while a few west of I-77 nudge the low 70s. A passing quick shower is possible, especially for our eastern mountains. Overall, some dry time can be expected.

Saturday we’re still running cool with morning lows in the upper 40s and low 50s. By the afternoon we’ll nudge the low 70s once again. A passing shower or two is likely but more dry time than not overall.

Sunday we’re still not out of the woods with scattered rain chances throughout the day. Again, more dry time than not which allows for temps to push into the mid 70s. Winds begin to shift out of the southwest which brings back the humidity feeding the afternoon pop-up shower chances.

In your extended forecast we’re still not showing signs of a balance to the spring to summer transition. Like we do every year, a soggy end to the spring season is looking more promising. Temps, at least, manage to remain near average in the mid 70s. As for the June summer 80s, we’re still a ways away from those returning for longer than a day or two.
