INCREASING CLOUDINESS TODAY; SHOWERS & STORMS POSSIBLE THURSDAY… Clouds will increase in coverage across the region today ahead of rain and thunderstorms becoming possible on Thursday. High temperatures on this Wednesday will be in the mid-70s. While scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected tomorrow, fortunately, severe storms are not expected. Temperatures will become quite a bit cooler this weekend after the passage of a cold front that is sparking off the showers and thunderstorms. I’ve got all of your Wednesday morning forecast details below.
RAIN & STORMS THURSDAY, PARTICULARLY MIDDAY… Scattered showers and thunderstorms will become possible at times on Thursday. Rain chances will likely peak midday or in the afternoon hours when storms may be most numerous across the area. Rain totals from this event probably will not be significant. Most communities across the region will pick up between 0.01″ and 0.5″ of rain in total. A few rumbles of thunder will be possible, but I expect no severe weather issues.
CLEARING SKIES FRIDAY… Clouds will continue to move out of our area on Friday. Highs on Friday will be in the low-70s. Clear skies are expected by 7PM when high school football games will kick off in many spots across our region. Temperatures at 7PM are likely to be in the 50s.
NICE, COOL WEEKEND… The upcoming weekend looks absolutely gorgeous and fairly seasonal for early November. Temperatures will run a bit below our climatological norms for this time of year, but not by much. Highs on Saturday and Sunday will be in the mid-60s with morning lows in the upper-30s and near 40.
SUNNY SKIES TO START NEXT WEEK… No real changes to the forecast in the long range. Sunny skies are likely on Monday into Tuesday with highs in the 60s and perhaps low-70s. Sunshine will prevail for much of next week.
TROPICS QUIET… The Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, and Atlantic Ocean are not expected to support tropical storm formation over the next 5-7 days. There is a real chance Tropical Storm Wanda (last week) may end up being the final named tropical storm of the 2021 Atlantic Hurricane Season.
