DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 21-25)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Discussion\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High pressure retains control of the weather today, but as its center will have slipped off to the south the door is open for a warmer air again, and you’ll notice that today with a southwesterly wind. This will continue into the weekend but with an increase in humidity. A cold front will slowly approach the region by late in the weekend, but both days will carry a chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms, though they will be on the isolated to scattered side, with many areas likely to remain rain-free. That front will be in the area Monday and there may be some additional showers around, and another front will approach Tuesday with yet another chance of showers and thunderstorms. Sound like a wetter pattern? Not really. The area’s drought has been upgraded to moderate to severe and this will remain in place for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
