Inside The Forecast

Today's Forecast

73°
59°

We will be dealing with some active weather over the next several days, thanks to a semi-stalled out frontal system over the northeast. Showers will pop up occasionally, and possibly a few thunderstorms, which could bring locally heavy downpours, lightning and some small hail.

It will be warmer and more humid on Wednesday and Thursday. The best bet for some stronger thunderstorms will be late Thursday when a cold front comes through.

But that front will stall out for a day on Friday, keeping showers around to end the work week.

But after a lingering shower Saturday morning, we will be clearing out for the rest of the holiday weekend. It will be cooler, though, with highs mainly in the low-to-mid 60s. Low temperatures over the weekend will generally be in the upper 30s and low 40s.
