Our recent dry respite is about to come to an end as disturbances aloft interact with a surface front to keep things unsettled for a few days. The greatest coverage of storms will be on Friday as the most vigorous disturbance moves on by with the front sinking into the area. Numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected, and this will have the effect of suppressing highs into the mid-80s. Instability should be fairly weak, and the severe weather threat is low, but some heavy downpours will be possible which could lead to some areas of flooding.

Off and on thunderstorms continue into Saturday, though with slightly less coverage we should see highs return to around 90° in the afternoon. Storms look to taper off by evening, and we should finish the day rain-free. Sunday marks a return to a more traditional summertime thunderstorm setup as highs head back into the low 90s under partly cloudy skies before thunderstorms initiate.
