Wednesday Afternoon Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

Below average temperatures continued across the area today with highs in the mid to upper 80s. Showers and thunderstorms made their way into the southeastern portions of the viewing area thanks to a weak upper level low that is sitting in the southern portions of the state.

It looks like this low will be hanging with us for a while. In fact, it will likely retrograde to the west through the rest of the work week and into the weekend. This means the chance for rain will continue and increase as we head into Saturday. That is when the low should be in the most favorable position for us to see rain. Our chance for precipitation right now is 20% to 30%. Highs for the rest of the week look to be in the upper 80s to low 90s.

We will likely be in a north-northwest flow aloft early next week. Occasional upper level disturbances could move across the region and spark showers and thunderstorms. The chance for rain is 20%. Highs look to be in the low 90s.

Have a terrific Thursday!
