New UPDATE
UPDATE
Issued at 917 AM EDT Sun May 5 2024
Another warm and humid day is expected today. The moist air today with the seabreeze setting up late in the afternoon will bring us some scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms for this evening. No changes needed to the forecast at this time.
DISCUSSION
Issued at 322 AM EDT Sun May 5 2024
Ridging will continue to build across the region today and will dominate the weather pattern through much of the upcoming week. For today, adequate moisture lingers across the peninsula with PWs generally in the 1.5 inch range. This moisture, combined with our persistent easterly flow will lead to rain and thunderstorm chances mainly across the interior portion of the state. As the surface high centers over the area, precipitation chances continue to diminish to begin the work week. By mid week, substantial ridging will lead to drier air and near zero rain chances. The next chance for rain doesn't look to materialize until the end of the forecast period as a trough sweeps across the eastern U.S. This feature is still 7 days out, so we'll continue to monitor it for any rainfall potential.
The main story for the upcoming week will be the warming temperatures. As previously mentioned, plenty of moisture will be present over the next couple of days which will act to keep temperatures within a couple degrees of normal. But as moisture wanes and upper level heights build through the week, temperatures will climb. By Tuesday, everyone away from the immediate coast will see afternoon highs reach into the lower 90s. For Wed-Fri, locations across interior portions of the state will see temperatures reach into the middle to upper 90s. Overnight lows will fall into the upper 60s to lower 70s. Relief from the heat may arrive next weekend with the aforementioned trough, but we don't want to get our hopes up just yet.
