Synopsis:
This is as good as July gets. Mostly sunny, warm conditions are expected today. The humidity levels will be very low as high pressure moves off the Northeastern coast.
The weekend has some questions that need be answered. An area of low pressure will move up the coast from the Carolina’s later Saturday into Sunday morning. How fast and how close the low comes to our area will determine when and how much rain will fall. At this time Saturday should feature sun giving way to clouds. Some of the models have rain moving into the area; I’ve now included showers later Saturday afternoon, especially South of the City. The best potential of steady and heavier rain will be Saturday night and Sunday morning. Morning rain is likely North of the City. As the low pulls away Sunday some sun is expected. Scattered showers and storms are possible during the afternoon. It will not be a washout.
An upper level low will move into the Appalachians Sunday through the beginning of the week. At the same time, a strong high pressure system will be over the Western Atlantic. This will result in a deep Southerly flow of tropical air. Scattered showers and storms are possible. Some of the rain maybe heavy. It’ll be warm and very humid.
Stay tuned.
