Improvements on the way Thursday after soggy morning; clear skies return tonight

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. Overall, humidity levels drop making the day comfortable at the least.

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 few fair weather clouds can be expected in the middle of the day as a weak system pushes in from the north. There isn’t much moisture with it so we’ll keep humidity levels low and rain chances for another day.

Sunday morning clouds increase with an isolated shower or two. With many dry hours of the day, we’ll still manage some sunshine and highs in the 70s. A chance at a shower or two increases for the afternoon and evening.

Monday is a mostly dry day overall but a passing shower or two is possible. Highs still struggle a bit into the low 70s. Our next system is expected overnight with clouds remaining stubborn into Tuesday.

Tuesday northwest winds begin to change westerly which will help warm us up closer to average. Still a cool day to start warming into the mid 70s by the afternoon. A stray shower chance in the afternoon can’t be ruled out but most look to remain dry through the day. Certainly an outdoor day with a eye to the sky in the heat of the afternoon.

Wednesday we’re mostly dry but a better chance of an afternoon pop-up downpour over Tuesday. Highs continue to climb as winds shift out of the south. Highs nudge the 80s degree mark west of I-77 with those east just on the other side in the upper 70s. The humidity is back which will make the day feel a little warmer overall.

In your extended forecast we’re gearing up for a summer run with temps soaring into the 80s with long range forecasts flirting with the possibility of 90 degree days mid June. Summer heat also comes with summer pop-up showers and thunderstorms so we’ll be keeping a close eye on those.
