FORECAST IN DETAIL

Do not expect to see much if any sunshine this weekend. Behind Friday night's drenching storms Saturday, keeping us locked in the cloud while delivering cooler temperatures and on and off showers.

I wish I would say Sunday will be better, but it will not. What's left of the tropical storm? That translates to even more cool, cloudy and wet conditions for Sunday. I guess this is better than sweating in the heat and humidity?

A LOOK AHEAD

A warm front will push north through our region during the day Monday, with winds switching out of the south behind the front, ushering in a warmer and more humid airmass. Some peeks of sunshine are possible at times, but scattered afternoon showers and storms may flare up. Much warmer and more humid with highs in the mid-80s and dew points over 70 degrees. Confidence: Medium-High

We will see more sunshine for sure TuesdayBut it will feel a bit more hot and humid. High temperatures will jump back into the upper 80s with dew points in the low-to-mid 70s. That means more showers and storms could develop during the afternoon hours. Confidence: Medium

by Wednesday and Thursday of next week, all eyes will be most likely to be in Florence, as the storm will be slowly approaching the East Coast by this point. Ahead of the storm, a cold front will move through the region sometime on Wednesday, stalling out south of the area on Thursday. Both days will feature a mix of sun and clouds with a chance at afternoon showers and storms and mostly in the 80s. Confidence: Low-Medium
