Thursday evening weather update

 After a mostly sunny and warmer than average Thursday, skies will remain mostly clear overnight as high pressure continues to take hold. This will allow temperatures to drop back to the 30s again for overnight lows, a bit warmer than the average low of 34° for this time of year.

Friday will feature similar amounts of sunshine early on, but upper-level cloud cover will filter in by the evening. The bit of cloud cover will not impact our temperatures, as those will rise into the upper 50s once again for afternoon highs. Wind direction will gradually flip around to come out of the Northeast late into the evening ahead of our next weather system.

This weather system will arrive in the form of a weak "cutoff" low as it remains cut off from the main jet stream to the North. This wave will meander our way into the weekend, bringing with it a little bit of moisture and forcing to allow for scattered showers to work in.

The initial wave of showers will not arrive until Saturday evening, likely after 5PM for most. The showers will only be light to steady, lasting only a few hours into early Saturday night. Additional sprinkles may be possible into Sunday morning, with clouds clearing out late Sunday.

Total rainfall will likely remain under a quarter of an inch for everyone, given the lack of abundant moisture. Not much to write home about and not enough to cut into the rainfall deficits either.

After the rain chances for Saturday and Sunday move out, we dry out for a couple days through early week until our next weather system arrives in the Wednesday-Thursday window to possibly bring more meaningful rain our way.
