Cloudy skies and wet roads will greet us this morning, so give yourself a little extra time on the roads. We’re tracking scattered showers and some thunderstorms throughout the day, with the best chance for storms during the afternoon. A few storms could produce brief heavy downpours and gusty winds. It will also feel a bit more humid, with highs reaching the upper 70s and lower 80s.
Scattered showers will continue tonight, along with the possibility of a few thunderstorms. Any stronger storm could bring a quick burst of heavy rain and gusty winds, so keep that in mind if you have evening plans. Otherwise, expect plenty of clouds and a mild, muggy night, with lows settling into the 60s.
Wednesday looks a little drier, but we’re not completely rain-free. Mostly cloudy skies will stick around, with some areas of drizzle and fog possible during the morning. A spotty shower could pop up at just about any point during the day, but there should be plenty of dry time as well. Temperatures will be cooler, with highs mainly in the 70s. On Thursday, we’ll see some sunny breaks mixed with clouds, along with a few spotty showers and thunderstorms. A brief heavy downpour is possible, especially before 9 a.m. Thursday. It will turn warmer and more humid, with highs climbing into the 80s.
The good news is that we’re seeing a much nicer stretch of weather as we head toward the weekend. Friday brings plenty of sunshine, followed by a mixture of sun and clouds Saturday. Right now, both Saturday and Sunday are looking dry with plenty of sunshine and comfortable temperatures in the 70s. Overall, the Labor Day weekend is shaping up nicely, with a good stretch of dry weather for your outdoor plans.
