Good morning! That typical summertime pattern is taking over, for the next several days. Atlantic moisture is spreading westward. The humidity will be rising today and Thursday as tropical moisture along the southeast US coastline engulfs the Southeast. Scattered random showers and storms will return to the forecast today and Thursday. The number of showers and thunderstorms will be in greater supply Friday through Sunday, especially in the afternoon and evening hours. The storms will be random. Feast or famine.
