Tuesday: Another warm and somewhat cloudy day

/ April 21, 2025 at 10:21 PM

We’ve got another warm and generally quiet day of weather inbound for Tuesday. Temperatures will, in fact, run a little warmer than they did on Monday despite some additional cloud cover as high pressure aloft begins to break down. Expect generally mid-80s in the metro after a mild start in the mid-60s — temperatures that are climatologically much more in line with early June than they are late April.

A stray shower can’t be totally ruled out as the seabreeze pushes inland, but otherwise, most of us should have one more rain-free day across the area.

Rest of the work week: A few shower and storm chances, but no drought buster, either

As high pressure aloft weakens and a front stalls nearby — how close nearby remaining a bit of a wild card — we should see shower and thunderstorm chances tick up across the area in the afternoons, especially Wednesday as a little mid-level energy works through. Temperatures Wednesday will start in the mid-60s, peaking in the mid-80s in the afternoon before storms get going.

Expect a little less storm coverage Thursday with a little less energy to work with aloft. And while we start again in the mid-60s, high temperatures should run a little cooler with a little more in the way of onshore flow throughout the day, with highs generally running in the low 80s. An isolated storm will be possible on the seabreeze Friday afternoon as well, with highs peaking again in the low 80s.
