Cooler and drier weather is on the way, but there’s also more rain coming.
High pressure remains in control with hot and humid conditions lingering again today, but changes are on the way. A cold front will move in this evening, with some showers and thunderstorms likely ahead of it. While widespread severe weather is not expected, a few storms could produce strong winds, hail, and heavy downpours that could lead to flash flooding, especially across the interior. The front moves through at night, then drier air moves in for both Friday and Saturday as high pressure builds back in. Temperatures will be in the 70s and lower 80s, with dewpoints dropping into the 50s and lower 60s, making for a much more comfortable airmass. Unfortunately, it won’t last too long. By Saturday night, we’ll see clouds moving back in ahead of the next system, with humidity levels creeping back up. Another round of showers and thunderstorms will accompany this system, but for now, the day doesn’t look like a complete washout, with most of the activity likely coming during the morning. High pressure returns for later Sunday and Monday with cooler and drier air once again.
