DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 15-19)…
\nA little drying at the surface today, and the edge coming off the heat means it will feel a little more comfortable today as a weak area of high pressure drifts over the region, but some mid and high level moisture will not allow it to be a totally sunny day. Humidity comes back as a warm front crosses the region Tuesday. The low pressure area parenting this front will also send its cold front across the area Wednesday. This frontal combo means a risk of a few rounds of showers and thunderstorms, but again not looking for a widespread beneficial rain. I have a slight concern for some stronger storms at least over interior areas later Tuesday, but will re-evaluate this going forward. Another weak area of high pressure moves in Thursday but a second cold front approaches later in the day, and it may help trigger a few showers and thunderstorms, though they will be the exception and not the rule (a phrase used quite often this summer). High pressure returns Friday making it a great summer day.
\nTODAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 78-85 South Coast, 85-92 elsewhere. Wind W to NW 5-15 MPH, diminishing later and allowing for some coastal sea breezes.
\nTONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 62-69, warmest in urban areas. Wind light SE.
\nTUESDAY: Variably cloudy. Episodes of showers. Slight chance of thunderstorms. Humid. Highs 77-82 South Coast, 83-88 elsewhere but likely late in the day. Wind SE to S 5-15 MPH, shifting to SW late.
\nTUESDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Isolated thunderstorms. Humid. Lows 64-72, warmest urban areas. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
\nWEDNESDAY: Variably cloudy. Scattered showers and thunderstorms. Humid. Highs 78-86, coolest South Coast. Wind SW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts, shifting to NW.
\nTHURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated showers\/thunderstorms mainly late-day. Lows 62-70, warmest urban areas. Highs 78-88, coolest South Coast.
\nFRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows 58-66, coolest interior valleys. Highs 78-88, coolest Cape Cod.<\/p>\n
