Storm Team4 Forecast: AM fog and clouds on tap on slightly cooler Wednesday
4 things to know about the weather:
- More clouds Wednesday
- Dry through the weekend
- Near 80° on Friday
- Plenty of 70s next week
This mild and dry pattern has been unusually persistent and will do its best to hold the line for quite a while longer. That said, our run of days with 100% sunshine are coming to an end.
A bit more of a southeast wind will bring added low level moisture into the picture so low clouds and fog are likely to be more widespread and longer lasting Wednesday morning and again Thursday morning.
Highs Wednesday afternoon will be a few degrees lower than Tuesday (72°) but still a bit above average (65°). Clouds will give way to more sunshine Thursday afternoon allowing most area to get back above 70°.
Friday still looks to be the best day of the week with sunny skies all the way through and highs in the mid-to-upper 70s.

A cold front will settle over the area this weekend. Rain isn’t expected but Saturday will be very clouds and a good bit cooler with highs only in the low 60s. Sunday will be a bit brighter with highs in the mid-to-upper 60s.
Next week’s weather pattern is far more uncertain and looks much more unsettled. Clouds will be far more prevalent but temperatures will remain well above average.
We had been watching out for a rain chance next Monday and Tuesday. Those chances have fallen and the rain now looks to get here a little later in the week.
Overnight lows will also be much higher, staying in the upper 40s to mid-50s with a clammy feel and the likelihood of very foggy morning commutes.
