Scattered showers we saw during the second half of Thursday look to persist at least into Friday with a passing low pressure system. Temperatures will remain below average during this time, only reaching the low 60s most days in the near term.
The low responsible for this will break off from parent jet stream to the North over the weekend, forming a "cutoff low". Without any driving force of the parent jet stream, this low pressure will stall out over the Ohio River Valley. How close to us the low stalls out will have a big impact on temperatures and rain chances through the early part of next week.
There have been subtle trends to a closer low, which would place the edge of the steadiest precipitation Saturday through Tuesday close by. Higher coverage of rain would likely remain Southeast, unless we see any further Northwest trends of the low. We may now see at least slim chances for scattered showers persist Sunday and Monday, but Tuesday should begin drying out.
The closer low would also mean a slower trend to see the warmer weather, as temperatures may linger in the 50s and low 60s through the weekend before slowly reaching the 70s Tuesday and Wednesday as things dry out. Our next chance for at least spotty showers looks to return by the end of the week.
