Good morning! The weather news continues to be very good. Get ready for a dry, very warm, sensational weekend forecast with daily highs in the middle 80’s, and 70’s on the coast. Your biggest complaint today might be the amount of clouds. Limited sunshine, An approaching weakening front will bring a risk of widely showers and storms back to the forecast early next week. An Upper High across the Southeast US will hold steady and strong. It will continue to keep storm systems at bay. Meanwhile, our series of very warm days will continue.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy at times. Limited sunshine. High 86. Breezy. Southeast wind 6 to 15 mph. Partly cloudy and mild tonight. Low 65. (Normal 81/55)
NEXT FEW DAYS: Looks like a sensational dry/storm-free weekend with lots of sunshine. Highs in the mid 80’s. Lows in the 60’s. An approaching weakening front will bring the risk of widely scattered showers and a few thunderstorms back to the forecast Monday night and Tuesday. Right now, it looks like the rain chance will be relatively low small. At the moment, I don’t think the storms will be severe.
Here’s the 10 day temperature trend. The warm pattern will continue for several days.
