Sun and a Few Thunderstorms this Week

High pressure will dominate our weather today, August 13. This means that skies will be mostly sunny which will warm temperatures up into the upper 80s.

Low pressure and its associated warm front will be on our doorstep for Tuesday, August 14. This will cause our highest chance of rain for the week, but the day shouldn't be a wash-out. Look for a mix of sun and clouds and a mostly dry morning with showers and thunderstorms developing in the afternoon and lasting into the nighttime hours. The high temperature will be in the upper 80s.

As the low pressure system departs on Wednesday, August 15, an isolated shower or storm can't be ruled out, but it will be a mainly dry day. Expect a mix of sun and clouds with a high temperature in the mid-80s.

Thursday, August 16, will be a beautiful day very similar to today. High pressure will be moving back in causing mostly sunny skies. The high temperature will be in the mid-80s.

An approaching cold front could cause an afternoon thunderstorm on Friday, August 17. Otherwise, there will be a mix of sun and clouds with a high in the upper 80s.

A low pressure system will park itself over the area for the first half of the weekend on Saturday, August 18. This could mean scattered thunderstorms throughout the day, but that doesn't mean everyone will get wet. The high will be in the mid-80s.

The second half of the weekend on Sunday, August 19, looks much better. High pressure to our west will cause northerly winds and bring down some cooler air from Canada. Skies will be mostly sunny with temperatures only around 80 degrees.
