GORGEOUS MONDAY; RAIN & STORMS POSSIBLE LATER THIS WEEK… The last two days of April are set to be dry, sunny, and warm with high temperatures peaking around 87° today (Monday) and on Tuesday. Isolated showers are possible on Wednesday and Thursday ahead of a slightly higher rain chance for Friday. While showers and general (non-severe) thunderstorms will become possible later this week, severe weather parameters remain very low for now. Let’s look at a few details…
PATCHY FOG THIS MORNING… Take it easy if you’re on the roads early this morning as there are areas of dense fog in place across our region. Fog will be possible in each of the next 5-7 mornings as a moist, warm air mass remains in place.
SUNNY & WARM THROUGH TUESDAY… High temperatures will be in the upper-80s today and tomorrow with nothing but sunshine and a few high passing clouds. There may be a few lower-level cumulus clouds in place by Tuesday afternoon across the region. No rain is expected until Wednesday.
FEW SHOWERS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON… The latter half of this week will be a summer preview as afternoon showers and thunderstorms make their return on Wednesday. Not everyone will get wet, but there could be a few small downpours in place across the area in the afternoon and evening hours. High temperatures will again be in the mid- to upper-80s.
MORE SHOWERS & STORMS INTO THE WEEKEND… The highest rain chance out of the next 7 days likely will happen on Friday, although we note there are small rain chances Thursday and Saturday as well. There is a good chance that there will be some spots that pick up NO rain later this week, while some spots may get upwards of 1” of rain in total. It’s impossible to know where and when rain will happen just yet. We’ll keep monitoring trends and bring you the latest info later this week.
I’ll have forecast updates as needed today in the RedZone Weather app. Let me know if you have any questions. All the details and graphics are in your Monday #rzw forecast video… Have a great day!
