THIS WEEK’S WEATHER

Weekend Weather Outlook

Update Fri 08/19 @ 10:43 AM — Here’s the update I had planned to provide last night. 🙄

The overall forecast is playing out as expected. Low pressure will develop and move off the Virginia coast Saturday, missing our area. A second low in the Minnesota will move in late Sunday and Monday—

Friday morning: Current water vapor with RAP model contours. (Click on image for a larger view.)

Saturday looks good with some scattered clouds.

Some uncertainty whether some light showers move in mid to late afternoon on Sunday or whether it holds off until the evening hours as the second low approaches from the west. Increasing humidity over the weekend, especially by Sunday.

Models crank out anywhere from 0.5- 1″ of rain for late Sunday through Monday. Will have to see… These dry spells are tough to break.


More Moisture–> More Rain?

Update Thu 08/18 @ 8:31 AM —A stationary front to our south will slowly move north as a warm front over the next few days.
