The rain from this morning will continue to move out. But we may not be done with the rain for today. While there will be a lot happening behind the scenes with the weather pattern, at face value, it will feel very typical.
Through Saturday night, the focus of thunderstorm activity will shift southward, with the frontal boundary extending across central portions of the area. As drier air builds in behind the boundary, there is still a possibility of strong to severe storms on Monday and Tuesday.
Moving on to Wednesday, the upper troughing weakens, but the atmospheric moisture levels will increase. As a result, scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop in the afternoon and evening. Thursday will see the strengthening of upper ridging, leading to temperatures climbing into the low to mid-90s.
Regarding the weekend, the latest global models suggest a shift in the upper ridge pattern, indicating a return to northwest flow. This means that chances for showers and storms will persist into the weekend.
So the end result is typical every day storms, with the background vibe of a northwest flow leading to occasional overnight storms.
