As we head towards the end of the workweek, anticipate a transition in the weather pattern. A cold front sweeping through the region will bring an end to the recent warmth and humidity, paving the way for cooler conditions just in time for Mother’s Day weekend.
Today, expect more showers and storms as the cold front progresses. The morning may see scattered showers, followed by another round of rain and storms in the afternoon to evening. Some of these storms could be strong to severe, so staying weather-aware is advisable. Despite the unsettled weather, temperatures will still climb into the mid 80s, maintaining the humid conditions.
By Friday, the region will experience a noticeable drop in temperature, settling into the mid 70s, which is more typical for this time of year. The humidity will gradually decrease throughout the day, accompanied by a mix of partly to mostly cloudy skies and scattered showers and storms, primarily in the afternoon.
As we transition into the weekend, cooler conditions reminiscent of spring will prevail, along with significantly lower humidity levels. Saturday’s highs may struggle to reach 70 degrees, and Sunday will see only low 70s. Both days will feature a pleasant mix of sunshine and clouds, with reduced rain chances compared to earlier in the week.
For today’s weather and health outlook, expect a mix of clouds with showers and storms, highs in the mid 80s, and moderate pollen levels dominated by Oak, Birch, and Poplar. The UV index will be low at 2, indicating minimal risk of sunburn, while air quality remains good (Code Green). However, mosquito activity is expected to be high, so taking precautions against these pests is advisable.
