Weekend forecast: Keep rain gear handy, but not a total loss

/ August 26, 2022 at 10:56 PM

Our weather looks to stay somewhat unsettled this weekend as we remain within a somewhat stormy pattern across the eastern US. If I’m picking a day for outdoor activities, I like Saturday; a little drier air will punch down into the area from the north and should help shunt the better rain chances southward. That being said, scattered showers and a few thunderstorms should still develop along and ahead of the seabreeze in the afternoon, so stay on guard if you do have outdoor plans. It’ll be a bit warmer than it’s been the past few days, with highs reaching into the upper 80s courtesy of a little bit more sunshine than we’ve seen recently.

Sunday should see a little greater shower and storm coverage as more moisture spreads back into the area. The best chance for showers and storms will be in the afternoon, but guidance suggests the potential for rain as early as mid-morning. Don’t write off any outdoor plans just yet, though — trends will become more established tomorrow. Highs will run a touch cooler with more cloud cover and storms expected — generally expect mid-80s in the afternoon.
