Rain returns Thursday morning with afternoon clearing

Tonight features more showers in our region, though they’ll be on the scattered side as our area will be in a bit of a “lull” between two systems. Patchy fog is possible with temperatures falling back into the mid 60s.

Thursday’s rain chances continue to be high despite our stationary front fizzling down to our south. However, a cold front will push into the region from the north. This will bring much nicer weather in store for the end of the work week and into the weekend but a few scattered showers and storms are a good bet Thursday as our front slides through. A strong wind gust can’t be ruled out along with the threat for heavy rainfall once again – however these threats are pretty low overall. Highs temperatures will be in the mid 70s.

Friday finally dries us out a good bit, as high pressure noses in from the north across the Great Lakes and provides a little drop in humidity for us. An isolated shower still can’t be ruled out in our southern counties with our front close to the Virginia/North Carolina border, but most will be dry with partly sunny skies and highs in the low 80s.

Saturday is also pretty dry overall with just an isolated chance for a brief shower or two with Thursday’s cold front stalling down to our south across the Virginia/North Carolina border and a weak area of low pressure scooting along that front. Partly sunny skies are expected with highs in the low to mid 80s.

Sunday provides mostly sunny skies with high pressure nearly directly overhead, with high temperatures in the mid 80s.

Monday sees the return of the humidity as high pressure slides east. This will create the risk for afternoon scattered showers and storms with the combination of heat and humidity. In addition, an upper level low pressure system will stall over the northeast, enhancing our chances for rain. High temperatures will be in the mid 80s.

Tuesday continues our soggy pattern, which will last through much of next week, with scattered showers and perhaps a few rumbles likely. Some of those showers could be heavy with highs in the low 80s.

Wednesday will also feature unsettled weather with scattered showers and a rumble or two possible with highs in the low to mid 80s.

Looking ahead in your extended forecast, it’s a continued unsettled pattern. This pattern is good in terms of trying to improve drought conditions in the region, but it also will help keep temperatures from being any hotter – we have a pretty warm air mass in place next week but the abundant showers will keep high temperatures held down into the 80s. Thursday continues our risk for scattered showers with highs in the mid 80s. Friday features isolated risks for showers with highs in the mid 80s. Scattered storms remain possible on Saturday with highs once again in the mid 80s.
