Showers and storms pass through Wednesday

8/31/2022

Relief from the humidity is coming

Picture
A look at the mid-level water vapor image from 4:20 AM Wednesday morning shows the two main players in the weather of the day. Showers and storms for the day are being fueled by moisture from the south. A dry air kicker is quickly arriving from Ontario to move the moisture and humidity out of the region. Before that happens, one more day of mugginess with some rain and storms to contend with. 
Picture
Wednesday 6 AM to 6 PM - Forecast remains on track for rain to clear southern areas by late morning. Western areas see the steady rain end around the same time, but a pop-up shower or storm is possible in the afternoon. Northern and eastern areas have the best chance for thunderstorms through the day and pose the risk of isolated severe storms through late afternoon. Storms could contain damaging wind, hail, frequent lightning and heavy rain, which may cause localized flash flooding in areas where training occurs.
Picture
Breezy conditions are expected across the region first from the south ahead of the front, then to the west behind the front. Southwestern areas have the best chance to see the warmest temperatures of the day as the westerly wind keeps the sea breeze away in the afternoon. DownEast area can expect areas of fog and drizzle at times through the day until the front passes through Wednesday evening.

Showers and storms end overnight,
​then relief from the humidity arrives 

Picture
Wednesday 6 PM to Thursday 6 AM - Showers and storms taper off from west to east by late evening. The mountains may see a brief shower overnight as dry air funnels into the region as the air column clear out. Another weak wave may bring a shower Thursday for the mountains and north while the rest of the region stays dry. 
Picture
Wednesday 6 PM to Thursday 6 AM - Southern and western areas see the humidity clear out in the afternoon, the rest of the region clears out by daylight on Thursday. Many areas see dew points fall into the 40s during the day behind the weak wave that passes through the day.  This dry air stays over the region through the holiday weekend.

Outlook through Labor Day

The next chance for potluck showers and storms comes on Sunday. A rough idea on timing is for the mountains and north may see activity in the morning and coastal areas in the afternoon. Other than that, the weekend looks amazing with comfortable temperatures.
