Weather Forecast: What to Expect Over the Next Few Days

Stalled Frontal Boundary and Its Impact

A stalled frontal boundary remains positioned overhead, significantly influencing our weather pattern over the next few days. This boundary acts as a focal point for unsettled weather, including showers and thunderstorms.

Tonight and Thursday: Heavy Showers and Thunderstorms

A piece of energy will move across the area tonight and into Thursday, bringing areas of heavy showers and thunderstorms. This activity will lead to:

• Scattered Flash Flooding: Be cautious in areas that have experienced heavy rain in recent days, as these locations are more susceptible to flash flooding. Thunderstorms may train over the same areas, exacerbating the risk.
Thursday: Cooler Temperatures and Diminishing Storms

Cloud cover will keep temperatures in check on Thursday, with highs reaching the low 80s in most locations. While the shower and storm activity should diminish by late evening, expect mostly cloudy conditions to persist.

Friday Morning: Fog and Mild Temperatures

Friday morning may start with fog, particularly in low-lying areas, with temperatures in the mid to upper 60s. As the day progresses, scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop again in the afternoon, with highs rising to the mid and upper 80s due to increased sunshine.

Friday Night into Saturday: Quiet and Mild

The weather will be mainly quiet overnight from Friday into Saturday, with lows in the upper 60s. Saturday could start with some fog, but overall thunderstorm chances will decrease slightly as the stalled frontal boundary begins to sag further south.

Saturday: Cooler and Cloudy

Highs on Saturday are expected to be in the low 80s. An in-situ cold air damming (CAD) wedge will develop, leading to more cloud cover and cooler temperatures.

Sunday and Beyond: Drying Out and Future Rain Chances

Most areas will dry out on Sunday, though regions in the western foothills have the best chance of seeing rain. The stalled frontal boundary will start to move back north into our area next week, increasing rain chances once again.

Temperature Outlook

Overall, temperatures will remain in check over the next seven days, with no significant heat waves expected. Daytime highs will generally range from the low 80s to the mid-80s, with overnight lows in the upper 60s.
