Confidence: Medium | | A LOOK AHEAD As the front stalls out over the area Thursday through Saturday, the forecast each day is roughly the same. We should sneak some sunshine at times but often see considerable cloud cover. Each day presents chances for showers and storms, especially in the afternoon and evening. High temperatures run in the middle to maybe upper 80s. Humidity is in the moderate range with dew points mostly in the mid-60s. Rain could sometimes be locally heavy. Each night should see lows in the 60s to low 70s with still a chance of a shower or storm. Confidence: Medium | | Sunday has a chance to break free from rain chances with partly sunny skies, slightly lower humidity, and highs in the middle 80s. Confidence is on the lower side, given the time window, but model forecasts suggest this may be our best shot to avoid getting wet. Confidence: Low | | | | | | | |
