Stop us if you’ve heard this before, but there’s some rain on the way for part of the weekend.
A weak low pressure area pulls away from the region tonight, taking any lingering showers with it. Friday looks like a decent day with some sunshine and warm temperatures, but a weak disturbance moving across the region could produce a shower or thunderstorm during the afternoon. After that, we turn our attention to an area of low pressure heading this way from the southwest. It will bring in some rain for Friday night and Saturday morning, some of which could be heavy, though it looks like the heaviest rain will stay just west of our area. We get into a bit of a lull Saturday afternoon, then another disturbance brings in more showers and possible some thunderstorms Saturday evening and night. High pressure starts to build in on Sunday with drier and cooler weather, but with an upper-level low also moving in, we’ll see some clouds and possibly a popup shower or two. Monday should be the nicest day of this stretch, with mostly sunny skies and temperatures running a little below normal for this time of year.
Sunday marks not only the beginning of climatological summer, but also the start of hurricane season. While there’s nothing imminent, we did take a look at what to expect this season and explained how extremely overdue we are for a storm to head towards New England and our annual start of hurricane season post that was published yesterday.
