The rain has exited. A drying process is underway, but will be a little slow in completing. The lower levels will indeed dry out through tonight and into Friday, but one upper low has to rotate across the region during Friday and this will ignite some additional cloudiness and a shower risk from northwest to southeast across the region from late morning through mid afternoon. There is even a low risk of a thunderstorm with small hail, since the air aloft will be cold. There will not be any widespread thunderstorm activity or severe weather, however. By Friday night, this will be on the way out, and then in builds high pressure over the weekend, settling off to the southeast of the region by Monday. This spells out the potential for three days of potential high temperatures over 80 in parts of the region, away from the cooling influence of the ocean. Some cloudiness may spill over the top of an upper level ridge centered west of the region Saturday, but there should be less cloudiness and more dominant sun by Sunday. By Monday, you’ll start to feel some humidity increasing around the back side of high pressure.<\/p>\n
Looking ahead into next week a little further, it looks mild and slightly unsettled as some weak weather systems will be in the region Tuesday through Thursday. It will be a little hard to pinpoint the timing and impact of any shower and thunderstorm activity until we are closer to these days.<\/p>\n
