Periods of rain through tonight and start Monday morning

THIS EVENING: Slow Line of Downpours and Storms. Temperatures in the 70s. Winds: S 5-10 mph.

TONIGHT: Scattered Showers, Mild. Lo 72. Winds: Light.

MONDAY: AM Scattered Showers, Then PM Clearing & Turning Less Humid. Hi 82. Winds: NW 5-10 mph.

A slow line of showers and storms developed as storms rolled east from the ridges and valleys to the west. This line has been feeding off of the 90° heat out there this evening, and now the rain is slow to push east. We will be likely dealing with the lining meandering across the Midstate until about 9 PM. Additional showers and storms may still develop after this initial push of rain. This will be good beneficial rain through tonight.

Showers likely linger through Monday morning and the commute before totally clearing. The cold front sweeps east by mid-day Monday, clearing us out for the afternoon and allowing humidity to drop off significantly as northwest winds kick up. High pressure keeps us comfortable through Wednesday with highs in the low to mid 80s and overnight lows in the upper 50s. Great sleeping weather!

High temperatures will rebound by Thursday and Friday with highs back in the low 90s. The 4th of July weekend will be slightly cooler but humid and a bit unsettled with scattered storms by Saturday afternoon. The holiday weekend overall won’t be a washout, but will feature daily storm chances — we’ll keep you posted.
