Dry through the weekend

Current Surface Map
Today will be partly sunny and warm, with highs in the low 70s in most areas. This afternoon, a cold front will cross the area and will usher in cooler air for the remainder of the week and into the weekend. There is a very slight chance of a shower with this frontal passage.

Temperatures tonight will fall back into the low 40s and will approach 60 tomorrow under sunny skies. Friday looks to be a few degrees warmer with abundant sunshine. This should make for a great Opening Day for the Orioles.

Sunny and warm today

Current Surface Map
High pressure remains in control today producing mostly sunny skies and temperatures near 70. Clouds will increase tonight and tomorrow as a cold front approaches the area. The front will move through tomorrow, bringing a slight chance of a shower or thunderstorm. Highs will again be near 70 before the front crosses the area.

Thursday will be about 10 degrees cooler than today and tomorrow, as high pressure builds back in behind the front.

Scattered showers and storms this afternoon

Current Surface Map
An area of low pressure moving through the Great Lakes will drag a cold front through the state this evening. Ahead of the front, strong southwesterly winds will send temperatures into the 70s and set the stage for scattered showers and thunderstorms.

There is a slight risk that these storms could become severe with large hail and damaging winds as the primary concern. Be sure to check the radar and be aware of any possible watches and warnings that may be issued this afternoon.

The showers and storms will be pushed eastward and off the coast by later this evening as the cold front moves through.

Sunny today, chance of showers tomorrow

Current Surface Map
After a cold morning, temperatures will continue to climb into the 50s under mostly sunny skies. Another cold front will approach tomorrow, bringing a chance of showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening. Highs tomorrow will approach 70 in most areas.

Behind the front temperatures will remain above normal with highs on Thursday through Saturday in the low to mid 60s.

One more warm day

Current Surface Map
The end of the work week will also be the end of our stretch of unseasonably warm weather. Skies will turn mostly sunny today and highs will approach 80 in most areas.

As the storm system that is currently over the midwest approaches the area, scattered showers will develop tonight.

Showers will become more numerous tomorrow and a thunderstorm or two will be possible. Some of the showers could produce locally heavy rainfall. Highs tomorrow will top out in the mid 60s.

Foggy start, partly sunny this afternoon

Current Surface Map
Much like yesterday, this morning’s fog will burn off leaving partly sunny skies for the remainder of the day. Today’s highs will be a few degrees warmer than yesterday, pushing into the low 70s.

Expect more sunshine tomorrow as temperatures push to near 80 ahead of an area of low pressure that is moving into the Ohio Valley. As the low approaches Friday night, expect showers to develop across the area.

More of the same

Current Surface Map
Another foggy morning will lead to another warm afternoon. As the marine layer is pushed back to the east, temperatures will climb into the mid 70s today and tomorrow.

As a storm system approaches, more warmth and moisture will be drawn northward and into the area, pushing Friday’s highs to near 80.

Rain chances increase Friday night and scattered showers and thunderstorms are likely Saturday.

Scattered showers and storms today

Current Surface Map
Despite the clouds and scattered showers, highs today will still climb to near 70 degrees. A weak disturbance will move through this afternoon, bringing a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms through this evening.

The area of high pressure that has been anchored off the Carolina coast will continue to dominate our weather. Expect the marine layer to move back into the area tonight, bringing more foggy conditions for tomorrow morning.
