Weekend Outlook: Calmer weather settles in, isolated storms still possible
After three days of heavy rainfall and severe thunderstorm chances, the weather pattern has finally settled down today. This comes as welcome news to almost everyone – including meteorologists! – who are in desperate need of a break and some sunshine. Friday will be a beautiful day, really, with high temperatures in the upper 70’s to lower 80’s and plentiful sunshine. You can thank high pressure for that, which built in behind the frontal boundary that was finally pushed out of the area on Thursday evening.
The calm and warm weather is likely to persist until Saturday. Most forecast models are in good agreement that high pressure will remain in control and ridging aloft will gradually build into the area through Saturday morning. This essentially means that the weather will remain warm and calm through that time frame.
