Discussion
High pressure has shifted off the coast and this has opened the door for a southerly flow of air to bring in more humid air from the southern states. As a result, the threat for showers and storms will return today and any storm that forms can produce heavy rainfall and frequent lightning. The threat for showers and storms will continue during the next couple of days as a frontal system approaches the region. More comfortable air will arrive this weekend and temperatures may hold in the lower 80's for highs on both days. In fact, the prospects for another spectacular Sunday are quite high with plenty of sunshine anticipated along with low humidity and comfortable temperatures.
