SHORT TERM

A cold front will be approaching the region during the day on Wednesday. Ahead of the front, showers and thunderstorms will be possible. Although a few storms may become strong, severe weather is not expected at this time due to the upper level support of a shortwave trough will be lifting well to our north as the front passes through; allowing for mid-level dry air to enter and entrainment limiting buoyancy.

A brief respite in afternoon high temperatures will follow the cold frontal passage late Wednesday night / Thursday morning. High temperatures on Thursday and Friday will be in the high 80s / low 90s, with morningtime low temperatures hovering around the low- mid 60s. By Saturday, high pressure quickly begins building to our west, allowing for afternoon temperatures to climb back up into the low- mid 90s for much of the region, with temperatures staying closer to the upper 80s for our northernmost counties. Large scale subsidence and dry air will keep PoPs near zero across the CWA through the end of the forecast period.
