8/31 – Chris’s “Rain Chances Elevate” Thursday Afternoon Forecast

This afternoon there is a stationary cold front to the south of our area. A drier air mass is still in the area causing dew-points to be in the lower which makes conditions not so bad. This afternoon will be another day where heat indices will be a non-factor. As we head towards the overnight hours the front will retreat to the north causing isolated showers and thunderstorms after midnight into Friday morning…then continuing though the day.

On the first day of September an area of low pressure will form along the front elevating rain chances through the Labor Day weekend. This will aid in cooling high temperatures for the weekend into the upper 80s. rain chances decrease slightly Labor Day, however the front will still linger overhead.

The first full workweek in September will bring a drier air mass back to the region, as high pressure becomes the dominant feature again. This means mostly sunny conditions will return to the area on Wednesday decreasing rain chances to only a stray shower or thunderstorm.
