Memorial Day Weekend Forecast: Mixed Bag

Good morning. As promised, I wanted to give everyone a holiday weekend forecast. Overall, it looks to be a mixed bag this weekend. Things start off very summer like tomorrow through Saturday with sunny skies and temperatures in the 80's with some humidity building Saturday. By Sunday however, unsettled weather enters the region causing showers. The weekend then may make a comeback just in time for Memorial Day.

The pleasant stretch of weather for Friday and Saturday comes thanks to some high pressure entering the region...

Friday will truly be the best day with sunny skies and low humidity.

By Saturday, we see mostly clear skies but the humidity increases as we get into the afternoon. With this increase in humidity there is the chance we see a few isolated showers, but nothing to be too concerned about. Temperatures will warm to the upper 80's.

Entering Sunday, things will start to go downhill as moisture from the south runs into a backdoor frontal boundary coming from the northeast...

Expect mostly cloudy skies with showers in the morning then again in the afternoon on and off. You can see this illustrated above.

By the time we get to Monday, there is hope some nicer weather can return. Expect mostly cloudy skies in the morning with the chance the sun breaks out by the afternoon. Temperatures will hover in the mid 70s with the chance at a few showers.

Thats all for now. Lets hope we see more sunshine than rain!

Will have a summary up by tomorrow breaking down what to expect for the holiday weekend.

Monday Weekly Weather Summary: Unsettled and Wet

Good morning. After a beautiful week last week this week will feature the opposite. Rounds of showers will effect the area all week and by the weekend we will see the shot at a more consistent rain as tropical moisture moves in.

There is currently a frontal boundary hovering over our area. As the week progresses disturbances will move along the boundary causing showers and storms...

Some sun could break out for a little bit tomorrow, but unsettled conditions will follow.

This pattern continues all week and we then have the tropical moisture enter the mix...

You can see below a tropical system that will be in the Gulf producing alot of rain in that area...

By Thursday this all working it's way up near us...

This will cause quite the rainy scenerio Friday through the weekend.

I will have an update later this week.

Monday Weekly Weather Summary: Pleasant

Good morning. After the rainfall yesterday, we not will embark on a very pleasant stretch of weather. In meteorological terms that means boring, but for most normal folks it is quite the good news.

Expect mostly sunny conditions this week with temperatures in the 70's. The only wrinkle in the equation I see right now are some potential showers Thursday night as a front moves through..

This front will keep temperatures nice for the weekend which also looks to be quite nice at this time. We could see some more showers Sunday but the jury is still out on that.

The next actionable weather item will be severe weather season. As summer like temps and humidity eventually arrive so does that threat. This blog will get more active if anything catches my eye in that regard. Until then, expect weekly weather summaries on Monday's and a weekend update on Fridays.

Enjoy the week. 

Weekend Update: Saturday is a Winner

Good morning. We finally got our dose of summer temps this week. Temperatures rose into the 90s but with low humidity this was quite nice in my opinion. 

For today, things stay on the warm side with temps in the mid to upper 80s.

A cold front then moves in tonight and a few isolated thunderstorms are possible...

The front will bring a cool down for Saturday with sunny skies and beautiful temperatures in the 70s!

As we enter Sunday, a disturbance from the south can cause scattered showers as the day gets underway...

This means mostly cloudy with some breaks of sun possible as afternoon wears on.

Enjoy the weekend!

Monday Weather Summary: The Heat Turns Up

Good morning. The highlight of this week will be our first shot at late spring temps as we get into the core of the week. A ridge of high pressure off the Atlantic ocean will move in over the east coast bringing with it temperatures in the 80s by Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

Today will be the only cooler day with temperatures in the upper 50's as a upper level low spins out of the area. A few showers are possible...

The ridge then builds in as the week progresses...

Temperaures respond at the surface...

By Friday, there is a chance a front works into the area bringing the chance at showers...

Depending on the timing of this we will have to see impacts and if they end up bleeding into Saturday morning. Regardless, I expect another nice weekend ahead once this front clears with temperatures moderating into the mid 70's.

Enjoy the nice weather!

Monday Weather Summary: Not A Bad Week Ahead

Good morning. As spring wears on even cooler than normal temperatures still feel pleasant. This regime will continue over the next week with highs in the low to mid 60s. With a late April sun however this will feel quite nice.

By the time we get to Wednesday a low pressure system does bring rounds of rain into the area...

Rain should end by later on Wednesday paving the way for nicer weather Thursday and Friday.

We then have to watch the potential for another low pressure system to develop on Saturday. If this occurs we could see some more rain, but the jury is still out...

As if now Sunday looks to be ok making for a decent weekend.

I do not see any prolonged warm ups in sight yet. Next week maybe see a few days above normal but then again the 60s with sun this time of year feel quite good imo.

Will update again around mid week.
