DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 8-12)
\nHumidity comes down a peg today, but doesn’t really crash until a cold front crosses the region in the early hours of Friday. An initial trough responsible for lots of rain (for many areas) and lots of lightning (for some areas) during last night is offshore but with humidity in place and still one more front to approach and pass through, we can’t rule out a few more showers\/storms today, although they will be much more isolated. By Friday, we start a 3 day stretch of comfortable weather, with the only rain threat being the possibility of an isolated pop up shower or thunderstorm on Friday as we combine still warm surface air with colder air aloft and pop instability clouds. Weekend weather? About as nice as you can get in August, although the nights will be on the cool side and may cause you to think of autumn. Monday’s weather also looks nice but we should see a quick warm-up and a bit of a humidity increase as well as high pressure sinks south.

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 13-17)
\nA broad trough of low pressure helps the jet stream sink south and brings higher humidity and showery weather August 13-14, before high pressure builds back in with drier and pleasant weather August 15-17, starting a little cooler then turning somewhat warmer.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 18-22)
\nDrier pattern expected as the jet stream lifts to the north and high pressure builds into the eastern US, but look for increasing heat and humidity during this period. Shower\/thunderstorm risk should be minimal for much of this period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
