A couple more dry and warm days are coming up, but changes are coming later this week.
High pressure remains in control to start the week with more sunshine and warm temperatures, though a seabreeze will keep coastal areas a little cooler. We’ll also see some high clouds start to filter the sunshine today as they stream northward from a low pressure system near the Carolinas. Clouds will continue to increase and thicken on Tuesday as that system pushes farther inland across the Carolinas, but we’ll remain dry and warm. On Wednesday, the high moves out, but it should keep enough dry air in place to prevent the rain from moving in as the low pressure system continues moving into the Mid-Atlantic states. That low will start to head eastward, spreading some rain in for Wednesday night and Thursday, but how far north the rain gets is still a big question mark. There’s a decent chance that areas north of the Mass Pike could remain dry the entire time, while there is the potential for some heavy rain as you get close to the South Coast. Exactly where this battlezone sets up will be the key to the forecast, as we’ll go from dry to very wet in just a short distance. How quickly the low pulls away is also a question mark, with the potential for rain to linger into early Friday near the South Coast. High pressure should build back in for the weekend with dry and much cooler conditions, but we could have another low pressure area lurking to the south, so we’ll need to keep an eye on that as well.
