Our warm, muggy and unsettled weather pattern will continue through the end of the week.  I know I sound like a broken record this morning… mid 80s, humid, and scattered showers and thunderstorms… but this is going to continue until Friday.  Then things will change, and just in time for the weekend!  Here’s what’s going on…

First, a slow moving cold front is approaching us today:

That front really never brings relief, because a warm front will lift back through the area tomorrow:

Then, on Thursday night, a stronger cold front will move through… thanks to a pretty good storm at 500mb (18,000ft):

The SPC has placed us in a “Slight Risk” for severe weather late Thursday through early Friday as that front comes through.  It’s still 3-4 days out, but we’ll keep an eye on it.  And at ANY time over the next few days, we’ll have the chance to see some heavier rainfall.  Part of the remnants of Claudette will be with us, keeping this possible.

Speaking of the tropics, Hurricane Bill strengthened to a Category 2 storm overnight, and could become a major hurricane (Cat 3+) over the next couple of days.  Here is Bill’s forecast path.  Right now, it’s not expected to make landfall along the east coast, but should bring some rough seas:

Enjoy your day!
