It’s Sad But True, that humidity will remain in place for much of the weekend, as a Bermuda remains anchored offshore, just as it has for a good chunk of the summer so far. It’s enough to drive you Stone Cold Crazy if you don’t like heat and humidity. Just a couple of stray showers or thunderstorms are possible, but most of us will stay dry. As we head into Saturday, an upper-level disturbance will head toward the region, bringing in more clouds, which will keep temperatures a little lower, but it will remain humid, which will Fuel a chance for showers and thunderstorms. A cold front moves in on Sunday, with more showers and thunderstorms likely. With the humid air in place, any showers or storms both Saturday and Sunday could produce heavy rain in some spots. Despite the fact that we’re expecting showers and thunderstorms both days, neither day will be a washout, so Wherever You May Roam, don’t cancel any outdoor plans you may have, but you should keep an eye to the sky (or on the radar), to plan your Escape if need be. The front moves through, and drier air moves in for Monday giving us One day that isn’t humid., but will stay fairly warm. A second cold front moves through late in the day, possibly triggering another shower or thunderstorm, but for the most part, Monday, should be a dry day.

Most of the models show the potential for a decent amount of rain this weekend, but activity could be more hit-and-miss than widespread. Images provided by Pivotal Weather.
