The day started off with some cloud cover, keeping temps in the 70s for a lot of the morning into the early afternoon hours. However, temps ended up in the mid 80s, which is an improvement in comparison to some other days this week (cough, cough…Wednesday). Dewpoints were still in the 60s, so it didn’t exactly feel great outside.

Today looks only okay, honestly. We didn’t see the rainfall anticipated yesterday, but we can expect some scattered storms this afternoon. We will still be in relatively close proximity to the front to our south, and this will help to spark off some storms into this afternoon.

Highs will end up in the low to mid 80s easily, and mid 80s are more likely if we can avoid precip or heavy cloud cover. Dewpoints will be fairly high across the region, so the air will feel very soupy and awful.

The front to our south will begin to drift northward into our region, as a sharp and strong shortwave begins to propagate southeastward towards our region late on Saturday. This front will be a focal point for storms during the day.

Look for highs to only end up in the upper 70s, maybe touching 80, because of the anticipated cloud cover across the region.

Overnight, another front in association with a stronger shortwave will eject out of southern Canada, and bring stronger forcing to the region, with showers and storms possible with this.

The NAM suggest we may see a weaker line of storms along the front on Saturday evening into the overnight hours. h/t pivotalweather.com

Sunday looks to be the beginning of a pattern shift across the eastern half of the US, as a troughing pattern looks to set up going into next week. This will keep our temps down a bit, as a cold front moved through on Saturday night. Look for highs in the upper 70s.

Long-term

It is looking like the Sunday-Wednesday timeframe will see a complete pattern shift across the eastern half of the nation. Much of the model guidance points to temperatures ranging from the mid 70s to around the lower 80s. After Wednesday next week, the pattern looks to shift back to ridging across the eastern US.
