After a beautiful Tuesday — I’m sitting outside as I write this, in fact — we will see a bit more in the way of moisture work its way into the area over the next couple days. It’ll also turn a bit warmer, with highs in the upper 80s Wednesday and solidly in the mid-80s on Thursday.

There will be the risk for some afternoon showers and maybe a thunderstorm each afternoon over the next couple days as a front gets closer. The risk for rain is slightly higher on Wednesday as the front gets through the area.

Once that front gets through, though, a stretch of excellent weather will begin. Friday begins a stretch of several days of temperatures at or below normal, with partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies each day through at least the middle of next week as high pressure takes command of the local weather situation. Should be quite enjoyable!
