You may notice the humidity climbing today, along with temps bumping into the mid-80s. This will help scattered thundershowers develop this afternoon. Then the pattern gets even more unsettled for many days.
I understand your weekend plans may depend on the weather, and we will get rain. Saturday afternoon will show off more rain showers and thunderstorms, but won’t be a full washout everywhere. Sunday, however, does look more rainy, as well as Monday.
The best we can do is examine the various computer models for the more likely scenario, which I show below.
While this may not be the best for your plans, we need the rain! Overall, we may see over 2 inches of rain by the middle of next week, but it will not come all at once.

Warm and humid air will help scattered showers develop today, then the organizing upper-level Low in the Central US will shift east and pump in more moisture.
A few showers may pop up late afternoon and settle down this evening.
The development of afternoon and evening thunderstorms will be more widespread.
A large upper-level Low will stall over the Midwest for a few days. This will create a moisture flow from the Gulf and Atlantic up the Eastern US.
The timing is expected to begin Saturday and last into the middle of next week.
It looks wet almost every day. This weekend may turn soggy Saturday afternoon into Sunday…
Next week will keep the showers around, with afternoon thunderstorms building in the heat of the day and settling at night.

I am aware there are some spelling and grammar typos and occasional other glitches. I take responsibility for my mistakes and even the computer glitches I may miss. I have made a few public statements over the years, but if you are new here, you may have missed it: I have dyslexia and found out during my second year at Cornell University. It didn’t stop me from getting my meteorology degree and being the first to get the AMS CBM in the Baltimore/Washington region. One of my professors told me that I had made it that far without knowing and to not let it be a crutch going forward. That was Mark Wysocki, and he was absolutely correct! I do miss my mistakes in my own proofreading. The autocorrect spell check on my computer sometimes does an injustice to make it worse. I also can make mistakes in forecasting. No one is perfect at predicting the future. All of the maps and information are accurate. The ‘wordy’ stuff can get sticky. There has been no editor who can check my work while writing and to have it ready to send out in a newsworthy timeline. Barbara Werner is a member of the web team that helps me maintain this site. She has taken it upon herself to edit typos when she is available. That could be AFTER you read this. I accept this and perhaps proves what you read is really from me… It’s part of my charm. #FITF
