Wet and Cooler...Sun For the Weekend...

After a rather stormy Wednesday evening, we'll "quiet" down a little, although showers will still be around and I can't rule out a thunderstorm or two today. Temperatures will be a lot lower, averaging in the lower 70s. The same holds true for tomorrow, as showers will linger over the area to finish the work week. This will be due to waves of moisture riding up along the front that will be slow to move east off the coast.

However, the front should clear the region in time for the weekend. I've heard some talk of a rather hot weekend, but I don't really see that happening. Look for afternoon temperatures close to 80 on Saturday, warming slowly into the mid 80s for some places on Sunday. Not bad if you ask me! Our rain chances should remain relatively low, although we'll need to watch the warmer air advancing north again later in the weekend.

I think the heat will return early next week, when temperatures will probably flirt with 90 degrees Monday and Tuesday. Another front lurking to the north and west could help to trigger some afternoon thunderstorms.
