DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 2-6)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The region continues its break from the previous humid and showery pattern as high pressure holds over the region today and shifts offshore Thursday. Dew points stay way down today, as evident by the chill in the air this morning – a hint of autumn! But we recover nicely during the day into the 70s from some areas being as low as the upper 40s. Urban and coastal areas bottomed out in the 50s to around 60, not as chilly but still cool-feeling with dew points sub-50. But a nice day with dry weather, low dew points, and no rain threat. It’ll be sunnier than yesterday with only a few diurnal clouds popping in comparison to the fair amount we had yesterday. Another thing you’ll notice today as the sky is a bit less blue, with more of a hazy look. Once again this is due to a return of a wildfire smoke plume from Canada, but this time its the more typical western Canada mid summer fires, as the winds to the east are largely under control and in many areas nearly out. That plume may hang around for a while, taking through Thursday to pass through our sky. With high pressure offshore Thursday, we’ll have a warmer and slightly more humid day but with fair weather. Then, low pressure and its attendant frontal systems approach and pass through the region Friday to very early Saturday, first a warm front early Friday then a cold front following from west to east Friday evening to the early hours of Saturday. This means another period of unsettled weather with high humidity, and showers with a chance of thunderstorms, bringing another round of heavy rainfall to some sections. At this time time it’s a short-lived bout. There is good news for the weekend as high pressure builds in with a return to fair weather and lower humidity!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 7-11)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Watching for the next trough and frontal system to bring unsettled weather back to the region later August 7 into August 8. A return to high pressure in control with fair weather by the middle of next week, a brief interruption with a shower chance to follow about August 10 as the next system moves through in a quicker westerly flow, and fair weather to end the period. Temperatures near to below normal – no major heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 12-16)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A continued zonal flow pattern with a tendency for weak low pressure troughing being in control. A bit more humidity and seasonably warm weather with best shower and thunderstorm chance at mid period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
