Dry For a Few

The storms that blew through here last night helped "cleanse" the atmosphere a day early. We still have a subtle front that moves into the region Tuesday, but it won't really have any moisture to work with. The takeaway between now and Wednesday is mostly dry. However, I can't totally rule out a shower tomorrow with the frontal passage. A southeast flow develops Wednesday behind the front, keeping us a tad cooler with a few stray PM thundershowers.

Monday Hi: 82 Lo: 62 Decreasing clouds; Not as muggy; NW wind 5-15 mph & gusty early

Tuesday Hi: 81 Lo: 59 Partly cloudy; Cannot rule out a PM shower or t-shower; NW wind 5-15 mph

Wednesday Hi: 77 Lo: 62 Partly cloudy; Not as warm; Isolated PM showers or t-showers; Light SE wind

Thursday Hi: 80 Lo: 64 Partly sunny; Widely scattered PM showers and thundershowers

Friday Hi: 77 Lo: 61 Mostly cloudy; Scattered showers and thundershowers

Further Out

Saturday - Partly to mostly cloudy; Scattered showers and thundershowers; High in the mid 70s; Low in the upper 50s
Sunday - Partly sunny; Hit or miss PM showers and thundershowers; High in the mid 70s; Low near 60 degrees

Forecast Discussion

The atmosphere is thoroughly overturned after last night's thunderstorms leading to a dry day today. A cool front moves through Tuesday and since it was robbed of moisture we don't expect much, if any, action with the frontal passage.

Wednesday is a rather nice day, and likely the "coolest" we've seen in a while. A southeasterly flow will try to spark a few late-day showers along the ridges, however most of us stay dry for a third day.

It gets active again towards the end of the work week and beginning of the weekend. Another front moves into the Ohio Valley Thursday afternoon and sweeps through the southern Appalachians Saturday. If it can get far enough south the weekend ends on a dry note. Until then, we'll deal with widely scattered to scattered PM showers and thundershowers Thursday - Saturday.

Temperatures fall to slightly below seasonal levels for a change later this week and hold for a while!
