Wet SAT; Drier Sunday

Expect numerous showers and thunderstorms through tomorrow, focused, but not limited to, the afternoon and evening hours. We get a needed break from the rainfall on Sunday, continuing through most of Tuesday. The chance for a pop-up shower won’t be zero, but it will be a welcome break from an active pattern over the last couple of weeks.

Forecast Discussion

A tropical-like air mass will continue over the area through Saturday in advance of a cold front that will push through here by Sunday morning.

Showers and thunderstorms will be widespread once again on Saturday, with the usual emphasis on the afternoon and evening. However, anytime is fair game for a shower in this kind of juicy environment. Locally heavy rainfall will be possible.

We get a nice, drier break for a few days behind the front. We were tempted to go totally dry, but felt compelled to maintain a small threat for a pop-up PM shower or thundershower during the Sunday through Tuesday period.

The stalled-out front along the Southeast U.S. coast might drift back westward as one or more ripples of low-pressure form along it during/after midweek. As a result, scattered PM showers and thundershowers will return during this timeframe.
