Forecast Discussion

We’ll have plenty of nice weather this week including a summer preview Friday, but you must be wise in choosing your days and times.

Skies clear tonight behind a front that passed through earlier this afternoon. Cooler, drier air moves in overnight leading to a terrific Tuesday.

Wednesday, a second front stalls to our north, and today's front fades off the map to our south. The door will be open for warmer air to return northward around high pressure centered in the Western Atlantic. As this transition to warmer weather begins, a stray shower or thundershower is possible Wednesday evening and during the daytime Thursday. Friday will be the warmest day of the year thus far as the warm regime takes full control of the Southeast.

The next front from the west arrives Saturday night and will be slow to push east Sunday. Temperatures remain relatively warm Saturday setting us up for scattered storms during the PM hours. A few showers may linger into Sunday. Much cooler weather arrives next Monday.

While it won't affect our weather, the first named tropical system of the year is possible in the NW Caribbean next weekend or early next week.
