Scattered Storms Return

Rain is making a comeback in the forecast with scattered storms spotted on the radar this evening. A “cap” or a warm layer of air aloft has been keeping rain away over the past few days but now that warm layer has dissipated and storms have developed. The cap can break if enough moisture rises from the surface and builds up under the layer causing it to cool. Then any air that rises after that continues to rise and storms develop as a result. A little weather lesson for you but caps form quite often this time of year and it will play a big role in our rain chances through the summer.

We can expect more showers Wednesday and Thursday as a front moves closer. High pressure will re-establish itself here over the weekend and we’ll stay dry but hot and temperatures will reach into the lower 90s.
