 A few weak disturbances will pass across the region on Thursday, allowing high-end scattered to numerous, 50-60%, showers and thunderstorms to occur across the forecast area. Models show that some drier air will continue to impact the eastern portion of the forecast area where less coverage, 20-40%, of showers and thunderstorms will occur. Just like the past couple of days, we may see some strong storms develop Thursday afternoon, but severe storm development is not anticipated. This storm activity will dissipate late in the afternoon, and no rain is expected Thursday night through noon Friday. With an upper high expanding over the Southeast U.S. on Friday, much lower coverage of showers and thunderstorms is anticipated, with just a 20% in the afternoon.

Lows tonight remain on track to bottom out in the mid to upper 60s inland areas, and the lower 70s along the immediate coast. Similar lows are forecast on Thursday night. Highs on Thursday range from the upper 70s to lower 80s over the western portion to mid 80s to upper 80s over the eastern portion. Highs on Friday will be warmer as sunshine returns, ranging from the mid to upper 80s over the western portion and along the coast, with upper 80s and lower 90s over the eastern portion.
