DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 25-29)

The upper low and associated cool pool of air will finish its trek across our region during today, but not before it helps initiate another round of diurnal clouds, some of which can grow enough to produce a few showers, particularly west of I-95, from mid afternoon to sunset. Otherwise, today will be quite a nice one. High pressure builds in and brings a spendid summer day Wednesday. Thursday, the high slides offshore and a southwesterly air flow brings in higher humidity, while a disturbance approaches from the west. The latter, combined with the former, increases our chance of late-day showers and thunderstorms, which then can be around at night and into early Friday as the initial disturbance passes through the region. A trailing cold front can trigger another shower or thunderstorm during the afternoon hours on Friday, which will be a warm and humid day. High pressure builds in behind this with fabulous weather to start the weekend on Saturday – lots of sun, mild air, and lower humidity.
