The main unsettled weather with this system will occur tonight as an occluded front will be passing through most of the region. The triple-point will be passing in the vicinity of the South Coast, but may remain just to the south, and this is important for determining the chance for severe weather in that region. A strong disturbance coming through from the Midwest brings atmospheric conditions conducive to severe weather including rotating thunderstorms, but it appears most of this and possibly all of this volatility may pass just to the south, but must be monitored closely. Friday, this system will be exiting early in the day and we&#8217;ll get into a drier northwesterly air flow, but upper level low pressure crossing the region can still trigger a shower or even brief thunderstorm, a couple of which may produce small hail, but I don&#8217;t expect as much of this as we had in a similar but stronger set-up last Friday. Just keep in mind that a quick interruption may occur if you have outdoor plans. The coolest air in quite some time will come into the region Friday night, and if you&#8217;re an early riser on Saturday it may feel more like late August to you than the end of July, but Saturday itself will be a very nice day with a temperature recovery and nice dry air. We say hello to August on Sunday while watching for another system approaching from the west, current timing of which suggest that most shower activity will occur Sunday night, leaving most of the daylight hours of Sunday, as it approaches, and Monday, as it moves away, on the dry side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TODAY: Partly sunny to mostly cloudy. A passing shower possible mainly west of I-95 midday on. Highs 76-83. Dew point rising into 60s. Wind S 5-15 MPH with gusts to 20 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. A few showers and possibly a thunderstorm mostly west of I-95 evening. Showers likely with a chance of thunderstorms, especially south of I-90, overnight. Areas of fog. Lows 60-67. Dew point falling to near 60. Wind variable 5-15 MPH shifting to N. Potentially stronger winds in any thunderstorms near the South Coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated showers and thunderstorms possible midday and afternoon. Highs 76-83. Dew point near 60. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FRIDAY NIGHT: Clearing. Patchy ground fog overnight. Lows 50-57. Dew point falling to upper 40s to lower 50s. Wind NW under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SATURDAY: Sunny. Highs 73-80. Dew point upper 50s. Wind W 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SATURDAY NIGHT: Clear except fog patches forming over interior lower elevations. Lows 56-63. Dew point middle to upper 50s. Wind SW under 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SUNDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of showers and thunderstorms mainly late in the afternoon favoring western areas. Highs 76-83. Dew point rising to near 60. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Chance of showers and possible thunderstorms. Areas of fog. Lows 61-68. Dew point lower to middle 60s. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MONDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 77-84. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 3-7)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A weakening of the dominant west northwest air flow, becoming a weaker west to southwest flow as there will also be a tendency for more high pressure off the US East Coast. This opens the door for higher humidity and warmth but no major sustained heat. One boundary should stay to the north with showers and thunderstorms more to the north of our region, but another boundary to the south may lift northward and increase the chance for showers\/storms as we get to later in the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 8-12)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A continuation of more dominant warmth and humidity but with the additional of more shower and thunderstorm opportunities as a frontal boundary hangs around close to the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DAYS 1-5 (JULY 29 \u2013 AUGUST 2) Low pressure approaches from the west today, but a good part of the day will be rain-free other than a few potential pop up showers mainly west of the I-95 belt due to increased moisture combined with daytime heating.
