Thursday: A couple storms possible, otherwise partly cloudy

/ at 6:09 PM

A few more storms will be possible Thursday as the lingering stalled front hangs around a bit longer. This, combined with the seabreeze, keeps a slight chance for storms in the metro in play for a good bit of the day, though the rain chance should diminish as the seabreeze pushes further inland. Temperatures will still be on the warm side of normal, but cloud cover, storms, and onshore flow should keep highs suppressed to the low 80s.

Rest of the work week: A few shower and thunderstorm chances

/ April 22, 2025 at 6:43 PM

The rest of the work week will be a bit on the unsettled side, especially Wednesday into Thursday, as a stalling front combines with some mid-level energy that’ll be working through the area. Wednesday starts generally quiet with lows in the mid-60s, but showers and thunderstorms should generally fill in starting in the early to mid-afternoon hours as temperatures peak in the mid-80s. Locally heavy rain will be possible, and a strong storm or two with hail and gusty winds can’t be ruled out, especially inland. Keep an eye out just in case, and be ready for evening commute slowdowns.

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.
