We have a few more days of above-normal warmth before changes in the form of a cold front and subsequent wedge of high pressure arrive for the weekend. For Wednesday, expect another predominantly sunny day starting around 50-51° before warming to the low 80s in the afternoon. Thursday gets off to an even warmer start as lows bottom out in the upper 50s. A few more clouds will dot the sky on Thursday, but we should still have no trouble reaching 80-81°.

Cloud cover continues to increase as we head into Friday, which will be the last of this long stretch of above-normal temperatures (for now, anyway). High temperatures will run in the low 80s for one more day as warm air pumps into the area ahead of a cold front. It increasingly appears we’ll stay rain-free Friday as the front looks to pass through Saturday morning, bringing with it a few showers and much cooler temperatures for the weekend into next week. It won’t be much in the way of rain, but any little bit helps as abnormally dry conditions continue to spread across the area.
