After a beautiful and mild start to the weekend across the region, the clouds have rolled in, and most of us are waking up to scattered rain showers on Sunday morning.

Expect the rain showers to stick around for the start of the day on Sunday, before we get a break from the rain showers by Sunday afternoon and Sunday evening. High temperature soaring well above average, into the middle 70s by Sunday afternoon. Rain showers will return thanks to a warm front lifting north through the region throughout the day. Overnight lows remain on the mild side of things, dropping into the lower 60s.

Then, we are expecting a final boundary to stall out over the region to start next week, on Monday and Tuesday, before a cold front rolls through the region by late Tuesday night. This will increase the chance of showers and thunderstorms in the region on both Monday and Tuesday.

The Storm Prediction Center has placed the region under a Marginal Risk (1 out of 5) on our severe weather scale for Monday, and a Slight Risk (2 out of 5) for severe weather on Tuesday. We will keep a very close eye on this situation, but as of right now, it does not look like widespread severe weather is expected, looking into the start of next week. Out of both the days, I think that Tuesday would be the best chance for any strong to severe thunderstorms. Gusty winds and heavy rainfall will be the primary threats either day, with the potential for stronger thunderstorms. High temperatures will remain well above average to start next week, with thunderstorm chances; highs in the upper 70s are expected both days.

We will keep the chance of rain showers in the forecast, looking ahead into the middle of the week as well. Expect a chance of rain showers both Wednesday and Thursday. Otherwise, mostly cloudy skies can be expected, with high temperatures remaining in the upper 70s on Wednesday, dropping into the mid-70s by Thursday.

Drier weather moves into the region by the time we get to the end of the week on Friday. Expect a mixture of sunshine and clouds on Friday, with high temperature still remaining well above average. Expect high temperatures to warm into the mid-70s by Friday afternoon.

Rain chances return to the forecast, looking ahead into the start of next weekend. Expect mostly cloudy skies with a chance of rain showers. Cooler temperatures move into the region as well, high temperatures into the mid-60s can be expected.
