After several days of dry late-summer heat, we will see a new pattern take hold over the next week. Scattered showers and a few storms will be the story almost every day through the next week or so. While there is a chance for rain every day, there will be many dry hours between rounds of showers. No single day looks to be a washout in the immediate term.

Scattered shower and storm coverage begins Friday night with highest potential arriving after 10PM. We will hold onto scattered showers through Saturday before a bit of a lull in the coverage of rain Saturday night and Sunday. Widely scattered to scattered chances for rain and storms will then continue into next week.

Here is an example of what scattered showers may look like at any given time through much of the forecast period ahead. There will be dry pockets in between rounds of rain, but showers will continue on-and-off throughout much of next week.

Slowly but surely, we may begin to add rainfall amounts up through the middle of the week. No single day will bring significant and widespread rain. But in aggregate, many locations might be able to see up to an inch of rain through Tuesday evening. This will not be much to eat into the monthly rainfall deficit of more than 2", but it will start to close the gap.
