Holiday Weekend Update

As we go through the upcoming weekend, it will gradually get more humid and the increase in moisture will lead to some shower and thunderstorm chances. Saturday will feature a good amount of sunshine and afternoon temperatures in the mid 80s. The humidity will creep up, leading to more clouds on Sunday and possibly a few isolated afternoon thunderstorms. Temperatures should once again reach the mid 80s. On the holiday itself (Monday), we'll see a blend of clouds and sun with a greater likelihood of scattered thunderstorms as a front to the north settles into the Commonwealth. Temperatures should once again bounce back into the low and mid 80s during the afternoon.

The front will linger across the region on Tuesday, leading to more rain chances. Then it should lift back north on Wednesday, before a more significant front arrives on Thursday. I would say at this point, it looks like the highest chances for more widespread rainfall will probably be Tuesday and then again on Thursday.

Enjoy your holiday weekend!
