Thursday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

It was another warm afternoon across the area today with highs in the 80s and low 90s. It felt relatively comfortable today as dewpoints remained in the 50s.

The upper level high pressure ridge will continue to sit over the region through tomorrow. This will give us another afternoon with highs in the upper 80s to low 90s.

The ridge will begin shifting to the east this weekend allowing a trough in the west to begin affecting the area. An upper level low should send some disturbances our direction beginning Sunday. Combine this with the arrival of two cold fronts the first half of next week and we have several rain chances. Those chances are slight to 30% due to the question of how much moisture will be in place. The best shot of precipitation looks to be on Monday. Highs this weekend will be in the low to mid 80s. Next week, however, we will cool down into the 70s for highs.

Have a fantastic Friday!
