Shower and thunderstorm chances increase tonight as the cold front crosses the state
Tomorrow will still be warm, with highs in the mid 80s, but humidity levels will decrease, making it feel much more comfortable. A cold front associated with a deep area of low pressure will move through tomorrow night. This will set the stage for a nice Thursday, with highs in the low 80s.
Today will become mostly sunny, with highs in the low to mid 80s.
Expect more of the same tomorrow with temperatures a bit warmer and a slight chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. Highs will push into the upper 80s to around 90.
The low weakens and is dislodged to the east tonight as high pressure begins to build in tomorrow. The high will bring a warm and humid airmass into the area, setting the stage for a very summer-like weekend. There will be a chance of garden-variety, isolated showers and thunderstorms each day with highs in the mid 80s tomorrow, rising to the low 90s by Monday.
The trough of low pressure will begin to weaken tomorrow, but will still provide a focus for showers and thunderstorms. Highs tomorrow will again be near 80 degrees.
Friday will be a transition day, as the trough weakens and is pushed out by an area of high pressure. Isolated showers and thunderstorms will still be possible, but will not be as widespread as they have been. Highs will begin to creep upwards, reaching the mid 80s.
More of the same can be expected tomorrow as the trough remains in place. Highs will again be around 80.
The trough will weaken as high pressure builds in Thursday. Rain chances will diminish as we move through the day Thursday and into Thursday night. Highs will be in the low 80s.
The other notable weather feature is the first Tropical Storm of the season. Tropical Storm Alberto formed over the weekend off the South Carolina coast. The storm currently has sustained winds of 40mph and will move away from the coast as it weakens and moves out to sea and will not affect the area.
The moist airmass will also allow another round of showers and thunderstorms to develop this afternoon. Today’s activity will be more isolated and will be more confined to areas along the bay. Some of these storms may become severe, with large hail and damaging wind being the primary threats. Highs today will push into the low to mid 80s.
This will set the stage for another round of scattered showers and thunderstorms this afternoon. Some of the storms may become strong to severe with damaging winds.
The associated cold front will pass through tomorrow afternoon. Ahead of the front, showers and storms will again be possible. Highs tomorrow will be near 80. The front will clear the area during the afternoon, ending the rain chances and ushering in drier air.
An area of low pressure to the southwest will continue to move slowly towards the area today. Ahead of the storm, southerly flow has brought deep moisture from the Gulf of Mexico northward. The presence of this moisture will combine with the storm to bring showers and thunderstorms to the state.
Expect several rounds of rainfall, heavy at times through tomorrow night. Rainfall totals of 1-3″ will be possible across the state, with the highest totals just west of the metro area.
