This week, we don’t have to contend with any slow moving upper level lows. It’s a pretty straightforward outlook without much opportunity for complication, so let’s go over it. Today, a disturbance departing the region first thing has some clouds over mainly southeastern areas but these will exit for a mainly sunny sky and pleasantly mild to warm temperatures. Tonight, a back door cold front moves into and across the region from northwest to southwest, but with only a few clouds and no rain whatsoever. This sets up a fair but cooler Tuesday and early Wednesday, but before Wednesday is over, we’ll already start to see a moderating trend beginning. High pressure slides offshore Thursday and Friday with a solid warm-up. Thursday features sun, but by Friday some more clouds enter the picture, along with the increased chance for showers (perhaps thunderstorms) – representing the one and only shot at precipitation during this week – as a cold front approaches from the west. A hint of higher humidity on Friday ahead of that front will give the day a bit of a summer-preview feel in comparison to the lower humidity days that precede it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
