High pressure settling across the Great Lakes is keeping the Tri-State in a very comfortable stretch of weather through the end of the workweek. Tonight stays mostly clear with light winds, allowing temperatures to slip into the low 60s to upper 50s by daybreak. If you have early morning plans, you’ll be stepping out to somewhat refreshing air.
Thursday brings plenty of sunshine from start to finish with afternoon highs climbing into the low to middle 80s. Humidity remains in check, making it another pleasant summer day to spend outside. Thursday night is quiet once again with mostly clear skies and lows returning to the upper 50s, as we get closer to the start of August.
Friday continues the warming trend with a mix of sun and clouds and afternoon temperatures reaching the middle 80s, which is much closer to what we typically expect for late July. Most of the daylight hours stay dry, but changes begin arriving late Friday night as the next weather system approaches. A slight chance for showers and thunderstorms develops after 8 pm to midnight.
Rain and storm chances increase on Saturday, especially during the afternoon, with periods of showers and thunderstorms becoming more likely. Keep a close eye on the forecast if you have outdoor plans because you may need to adjust around passing downpours and lightning.
The unsettled pattern continues into Saturday night and Sunday as that weather system lingers across the Tri-State. Expect additional rounds of showers and thunderstorms at times, although there will likely be breaks between them. High temperatures over the weekend stay near 80 degrees with nighttime readings settling into the middle 60s as the wetter pattern carries into early next week.
