Time To Start Looking For The Umbrella
Looks like our dry weather pattern is coming to an end. A southerly wind flow will kick in and begin transporting gulf moisture into the state. The influx of moisture will only increase as the weekend progresses and it could be rather wet a times. On the plus side, the southerly breezes will allow for warmer temps throughout the weekend. We’re expecting lower to mid 70s for afternoon highs both Friday and Saturday.
In the meantime, our sky will look mostly cloudy overnight. We’re only falling into the upper 40s for lows. It won’t be that chilly Friday morning. and the afternoon temps should be rather mild in the low to mid 70s. High pressure will drift farther east us allowing those southerly winds to increase the moisture over us. A few showers can’t be ruled out Friday afternoon. Scattered showers are likely to move through the area Saturday as well.
The rest of the weekend will be trending wetter as a frontal system parks itself over the region. Several impulses will work along the boundary and bring us periods of rain. We expect a few embedded t-storms will accompany the rain at times. The severe storm threat is low but not zero. A few storms could be strong with gusty winds and heavy downpours. Rainfall potential over this three day period will range between 1 to 3 inches. The rainy weather pattern will linger into Monday but the main upper level system will depart Monday night and we’re back to dry and sunny condition Tuesday.
