DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 10-14)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The hot spell is broken, and we’ll be in a cooler regime through the coming weekend. Thunderstorms brought up to an inch or two of rain to some areas Tuesday afternoon and early evening, especially south of I-90. Despite some locally heavy rainfall, the drought continues for the region and will for the foreseeable future, as we have not been able to get any widespread beneficial rain events in succession. I briefly had hope for some beneficial showers behind our frontal passage, but that is not going to materialize. Only a swath of showers will cross southeastern areas early on Thursday. We’ll keep moderate humidity in place both today and Thursday, with coolest air today and a bit of warm-up Thursday ahead of an approaching frontal boundary. This front will cross the region Thursday night and early Friday and may produce a few showers, followed by a delivery of much drier air. This is going to set up a beautiful mid August weekend as high pressure arrives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 15-19)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High pressure shifts offshore and a broad low pressure circulation over the Middle Atlantic States combine to send higher humidity air back this way next week, but this time without the high heat, as a southeast to south air flow will be dominant with maritime modification. This low pressure trough should result in up to 3 days of greater rainfall opportunities, which would be potential good news for drought relief. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 20-24)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A typical August pattern looks like it will be with us heading into late month – weak zonal flow, warmth and some higher humidity at times, but also watch for an intrusion of drier\/cooler air from Canada at some point as well. Still not seeing any solid signs of drought-busting rainfall, even from the tropics, but looking this far out into the future is of course a lower confidence forecast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
