Storm HQ

Lots of changes coming up this weekend, but the humidity will probably hang around.

High pressure settles offshore, keeping us on the warm and humid side. In fact, Friday will be downright hot with many places away from the South Coast getting into the 90s. When you factor the humidity it, it may feel like it is close to or a little over 100 in the afternoon. However, we’ll also see clouds moving in ahead of a cold front. That front will trigger some showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening. We’re not expecting widespread severe weather, but some of the storms could produce gusty winds and heavy downpours. The front settles offshore before stalling out, with somewhat cooler and drier air moving in for Saturday. By somewhat, we mean temperatures in the 80s instead of 90s, and dewpoints in the upper 50s and lower 60s instead of upper 60s and lower 70s. So, it’ll be a typical summer day across the region. Sunday may not be as nice. A wave of low pressure will ride along the front and bring the humidity back in, along with the possibility some showers and thunderstorms, mostly during the afternoon and evening. However, some models keep the showers offshore, so we may end up with a decent day. High pressure returns for Monday with sunshine, warmer temperatures, and moderate humidity levels.
