Forecast Discussion

Basically all the rain for the next week comes late tonight into Friday afternoon. A few showers dot the landscape this evening with more widespread rain arriving later tonight. The rainmaker is an area of low pressure back in the mid-Mississippi Valley and it scoots through tomorrow. Friday is showery (thunder possible), cooler, and breezy.

Clouds decrease Friday night and the weekend is rather pleasant minus a breezy Saturday. A subtle front approaches late Sunday night, but is deflected by a ridge of high pressure building in the western Atlantic (a very summer-like configuration). I can't rule out a shower while we're sleeping Saturday night.

As the ridge strengthens the first half of next week temperatures respond accordingly and the days get progressively warmer. The month of May marks the beginning of the diurnal convective season. On cue, isolated pop-up showers could be in the the mix with daytime heating Wednesday.
