Rain chances will be on the rise as we wrap up the work week and head into the weekend, but we're not talking washout wet weather conditions. We'll be wedged between two upper-level low pressure systems, which will bring back plenty of moisture for pop-up shower and storm activity. Today will be relatively dry with rain chances sitting around 20-30%.
Today will essentially be a repeat of yesterday's weather, featuring a mostly sunny and hazy sky and temperatures back in the low-mid 90s. Rain chances will be low through Friday thanks to high pressure both at the surface and aloft. This will bring dry air to the middle and upper levels of the atmosphere, keeping the rain chances down. Through Friday, temperatures are forecast to reach the low 90s along the coast and mid-90s inland while morning lows hover in the mid-upper 70s.
Temperatures will be trending upwards this week as rain chances do the opposite thanks to a building ridge of high pressure. Monday through Friday, temperatures are forecast to reach the low 90s along the coast and mid-90s inland while morning lows hover in the mid-upper 70s. Rain chances sit at just 30% Monday with isolated pop-ups developing with the sea breeze in the afternoon. Tuesday through Thursday, a stray shower or storm is possible, but there won't be much wet weather at all. By Friday, changes will begin to occur with an inflow of moisture resulting in more pop-ups. Saturday and Sunday are forecast to be the wettest days of the week with scattered showers and storms likely thanks to an approaching frontal system. For now, though, it does not look like this weekend will be a washout by any means. Rather, it will likely be hit-or-miss showers and storms, more typical of our summertime pattern.
We're off to a wet start today with scattered showers and storms impacting the Panhandle early. Rainfall totals over the last 24 hours have ranged from 1-3 inches. Even more rain is on the way, too, with widespread showers and storms in the forecast today and tomorrow due to a stalling front dipping into the Deep South. Pack your rain gear and keep it handy!
Good morning and happy Fourth of July! We're seeing some pop-up shower activity along our coastal areas early today. Isolated activity will continue through the morning, becoming more scattered inland through the afternoon thanks to a stalled boundary to our north and moisture flowing in from the south (plus the sea breeze). Thankfully, it looks like Mother Nature's fireworks should end just in time for artificial fireworks this evening.
