Weather Story

Mainly dry and warm today, becoming a bit more unsettled on Saturday.

Drier, quiet and warmer weather returns today under high pressure, but a few showers may develop along the mountains for a brief period of time this afternoon. A weak disturbance passing through the area may give rise to showers and thunderstorms Saturday afternoon, some of which may grow to be severe along the higher terrain. Relative humidity percentages will once again fall into the 20s and 30s this afternoon, and then the 30s and 40s over the weekend. Afternoon minimum relative humidity percentages then climb further during the next work week starting Monday, as a ridge of high pressure moves east of the area and allows a more humid southerly flow to become established. There is also the chance for showers, and mainly afternoon thunderstorms, as disturbances, and, eventually a midweek cold front, cross.
