Discussion
Low pressure will pass by to our north today and there can be isolated showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon, but much of today will be rain-free. An upper-level ridge of high pressure is building into the region and this will result in hotter weather conditions beginning today and continuing through Friday with afternoon highs likely well up in the 90’s on each day. The overall pattern remains unsettled as well on Thursday and Friday with a chance of PM showers and thunderstorms and warm, humid and unsettled conditions are likely this weekend.
