Muggy Weekend; Nicer Weather Inbound

Isolated showers and storms will wind down this evening. Sunday will be much the same as Saturday, however, will feature widely scattered coverage of showers and thunderstorms. A potent cold front moves into the Ohio Valley late Sunday into Monday increasing our coverage of showers and storms. Monday could be a bit "bumpy" with scattered showers and thunderstorms as the front draws near (small price to pay for what is ahead). The front passes Tuesday ushering in much cooler and drier air. Wednesday and Thursday will be quite nice as well. Hang in there, relief is on the way!!!

Forecast Discussion

Warm and muggy weather persists through the weekend thanks to high pressure in place across the Southeastern U.S. and the Mid-Atlantic... but relief is on the way!

Sunday will feature widely scattered coverage of afternoon-evening showers and thunderstorms. Meanwhile, a rather potent summer season cold front has developed over the Upper Midwest and moves into the Great Lakes.

High pressure holds Sunday and into Monday with hot and humid conditions as the incoming front moves into the Ohio Valley sparking widespread showers and thunderstorms. The front approaches our neck of the woods Monday bringing scattered showers and thunderstorms. Showers and storms linger through the evening with widely scattered coverage holding overnight as the front passes through.

The front should pass through western Va early Tuesday. This should allow for clearing behind the front during Tuesday morning. The rest of Tuesday should be dry and sunny and much, much cooler!

The cooler and drier weather holds Wednesday and Thursday thanks to high pressure building across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic behind the cold front. Friday will feature a bit more warmth (nothing like this past week though) and could usher in a return of isolated PM coverage of showers or a t-shower.
