DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 21-25)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High pressure hangs on with a splendid summer day today, although the humidity creeps up a little more and will be somewhat more noticeable. Some areas started the day with a deck of stratus clouds but this has been and will continue to vanish as the morning sun climbs higher into the sky. We’ll see some high cloudiness in the sky today in advance of a warm front, as well as the development of a few fair-weather cumulus, so overall it will be a sun\/cloud mix for our sky. Thicker cloud cover keeps the temperature down Monday ahead of a warm front which will generate showers and possible thunderstorms as it approaches and crosses the region, parented by low pressure passing to our northwest. It’s cold front will come along Tuesday with additional showers and storms. While Monday’s showers may have decent coverage and be beneficial in terms of providing some drought relief, Tuesday’s activity will favor areas north and west of where the drought is most severe, and coverage either way should be less than Monday. The other issue limiting drought relief is we’ll not be following it up with more beneficial rain quickly as an extended stretch of dry weather begins again at midweek as high pressure builds back into the region, although clouds may be stubborn to depart Wednesday as the front that went by doesn’t clear the region in any hurry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 26-30)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High pressure brings dry weather and warm air to the region August 26-27. Watching later in the period for a frontal boundary to increase the humidity and shower \/ thunderstorm risk, but doesn’t look like a widespread beneficial rain chance this far ahead. Will monitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
