Unsettled weather will continue for the rest of the abbreviated work week as we remain on the periphery of Atlantic high pressure, with plenty of moisture available for the seabreeze and other boundaries to kick off showers and thunderstorms each day. Some much-needed rain will fall, and those chances will improve heading into next weekend.

Tuesday will feel a lot like Monday did, with temperatures topping out in the upper 80s after starting out in the low-to-mid-70s. We should once again see showers develop with a bit of heating in the morning, moving inland with the southerly flow and the seabreeze. High-resolution models don’t do much with overall coverage, and it’s probable that the pattern of the last few days — isolated to scattered showers east of 17-A, greater coverage to the west approaching I-95 — will be how Tuesday unfolds.

Wednesday looks similar, though with some upper-level energy moving through, we should see a bit more in the way of coverage compared to Tuesday. Temperatures will once again peak around 90° depending on thunderstorm activity. It won’t rain all day at any one spot — and it’s conceivable that some spots may again be shut out — but be ready to be dodging some downpours.

A front approaches the area Thursday. Temperatures will spike out ahead of it — expect highs in the low-to-mid-90s — with mostly quiet weather until we get later into the afternoon and evening hours as the front draws closer. This front could bring about more widespread precipitation for Friday heading into the weekend, with some more much-needed rain to try to dent the drought. This should also bring about better rain chances for those of you on the coast and the barrier islands who tend to miss out on the seabreeze thunderstorms. Details will still be worked out, but it does look promising.
