Discussion
A surface frontal system will combine with increasingly moist air and a slow-moving upper-level trough to bring us more rainfall on Thursday and Thursday night. The potential does exist for downpours in this type of pattern and strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity is on the table as well. Looking ahead, it looks like it’ll get very warm later this weekend and early next week with highs likely at or above 90 degrees on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday as high-pressure ridging takes over in the eastern states.
