The night ahead promises calm weather, with temperatures dipping into the 50s. As we transition into the new week, a high-pressure system will maintain dry and pleasant conditions, allowing daytime temperatures to climb comfortably into the low to mid-80s.

As we move into Tuesday and Wednesday, a weak front is expected to make its way through the region, bringing with it a slight increase in moisture. This will result in a blend of sunshine and clouds, accompanied by scattered showers. The chances of rain hover between 40% and 50%, particularly on Tuesday afternoon.

While severe weather is not anticipated, there is a possibility of an isolated storm cropping up during the peak heat of the day. Such storms could bring along gusty winds, small hail, and brief heavy rain. However, overall rainfall amounts are likely to remain modest, generally staying below half an inch, which unfortunately won’t significantly alleviate the persistent drought conditions.

Despite the presence of this front, temperatures will only slightly decrease, remaining above the seasonal average with highs ranging from the upper 70s to mid-80s.

An isolated storm or two could pop up during the hottest part of the day. Severe weather isn’t expected, but a stronger storm could bring gusty winds, small hail, and a quick downpour.

Rainfall totals stay on the lighter side (generally under half an inch), so it won’t do much to help ongoing drought conditions. Temperatures ease slightly but still stay above average, with highs in the upper 70s to mid 80s.

Late Week into the Weekend

By late week, that front fades away and high pressure builds back in. That brings back drier conditions and a warming trend, with highs climbing into the mid to upper 80s by Friday.

Another front may try to move in next weekend, but timing is still uncertain. For now, only a small chance for a few showers or storms Saturday, with warm 80s sticking around.
