Pesky showers Wednesday morning ahead of widespread downpours and t-storm tonight

Wednesday is simply a gloomy, damp, and cool day with stubborn cloud cover and changing winds keeping temps in the low to mid 60s for the mountains, mid to upper 60s for the lowlands. Morning showers and isolated downpours keep the morning commute interesting with visibility issues and slick roads. By the afternoon steadier rain pushes in with pop-up thunderstorms by the evening.

Heavy rain will certainly cause standing water on roads for the evening commute as a cold front slides across the region. Winds switch out of the northwest cooling us off after sunset into the 50s. T-storms will fade into the night but heavy rain continue well into the pre-dawn hours of our Thursday.

Thursday we’re stuck between one system leaving the area and another looking to move in Friday. While most of us will be dry, the chance of a pop up shower is possible for the afternoon. We’ll likely still have enough time to mow the lawn if needed. Temps push back into the low to mid 70s with extra sunshine around. A quiet night with partly clear skies drops temps back into the mid 50s for lows.

Friday begins drier with some sunshine but clouds are on the increase. By mid-morning scattered showers return from west to east. Temps aren’t hurt much with the mid 70s for afternoon highs. Showers and an isolated t-storm is likely for the late afternoon and early evening. Friday night is looking soggy and breezy with a cold front crossing overnight.

Saturday showers remain most of the morning and early afternoon. Temps still manage to warm into the mid and upper 70s with breezy southwest winds in control. Late afternoon and evening, showers begin to fade with high pressure trying to move in. Saturday night scattered showers still possible with the last bits of moisture working their way out.

Sunday morning, showers remain from Saturday’s system but the general trend is clearing skies. By the afternoon only a handful of showers continue to filter out. Sunshine tries to peek through broken clouds helping afternoon highs push into the mid 70s. High pressure works in late to help clear skies for the overnight hours dropping temps back into the low to mid 50s.

Monday sunshine will be with us all day with a few fair weather clouds floating harmlessly by. Temps move quickly from the 50s into the 70s by the afternoon. A comfy day to dry out from such a soggy pattern the last few days.

Tuesday begins with sunshine but clouds are on the increase. By the mid-afternoon, scattered showers move back in to the region. Broken in nature, those towards the east will have a drier Tuesday than those towards the west. Highs won’t be hurt as we warm into the upper 70s.

In your extended forecast we’re soggy again as a few systems push in one after another. With some dry time between flooding concerns look to remain low. However, with multiple soggy days ahead, standing water and muddy grounds leading to mud/rock slides may be possible.
