Synopsis:
High pressure that remained off our coast for the last 6 days was the culprit behind our heatwave. This feature will have its last hoorah today. Clouds will give way to hazy sun. It’ll be another steamy one. Temperatures will be back up near 90º as the wind will be more off the land.
The high will give way to a significant cool front working in from the West. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are likely tonight. Some of the rainfall will be torrential.
The front will work into the region Friday with showers and thunderstorms. Locally heavy rain is possible. The front should clear the coast later in the day with the sun returning. Friday will be humid to start but by late afternoon a dramatic drop in the humidity will occur.
Relief will finally arrive by Saturday. The weekend looks fantastic with abundant sunshine, cooler temperatures and very low humidity as high pressure from the Great Lakes moves in. It’s about time!
Stay tuned.
