Discussion

High pressure slides to our east later today and we’ll have sun followed by clouds around here to go along with warm conditions. Another slow-moving system is pulling out of the Gulf region and will edge up along the Atlantic seaboard during the next few days resulting in occasional showers around here from later tonight into Thursday and a few thunderstorms will be included as well. In fact, the threat of showers and thunderstorms is likely to continue on Friday and Saturday as a cold front arrives in the eastern states. Temperatures this afternoon should peak in the upper 70’s, but then be somewhat limited on Tuesday and Wednesday due to an abundance of clouds and the expected shower activity.
