DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 17-21)
\nA few changes on today’s forecast, which in the short term has been giving me headaches, as well as in the medium term. Such is the way of trying to see ahead. Today and Saturday a disturbance crosses the region, sending its warm from through today with a band of scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms later in the day to early evening. At the moment I am not overly concerned about any severe weather. The cold front portion of this disturbance will cross the region during Saturday with another couple opportunities for showers and thunderstorms but with a drying trend from the northwest later in the day. This front never gets that far south and although we do get some drier and somewhat cooler air from Canada for the end of the weekend and start of next week, it’s not going to be accompanied by bright blue skies and sunshine each of those days. Clouds will hang around due to the closer proximity of the front including a weak wave of low pressure moving along it, that keeps a shower threat near the South Coast at times, and as the front tries to advance back northeastward as a warm front later Tuesday there may end up being the threat of showers in more of the region.
