Discussion
Our stretch of nice weather with generally rain-free conditions and comfortable temperatures and humidity levels is coming to an end. High pressure that has been to our north in recent days will shift off the east coast over the next 24 hours and this shift in location will open the door for much more humid air to push into our region and with it will come the threat of more numerous showers and scattered thunderstorms. The chance for showers here will increase markedly by later today and that threat of rain will stick with us all the way into the first half of next week and there can be thunderstorms mixed in as well.
