Forecast Discussion
A cold front is coming through this evening. Ahead of the front, we remain in a moist and rather unstable air mass, one that will favor the development of a few thunderstorms this afternoon. Many places won't get any rain, however.
We will have some changes on Friday as our cold front comes to a halt over GA/SC. Drier air will make for a nice day around the area, although the strong late-July sun angle will give temperatures a boost with plenty of sunshine.
The nearby stationary front, along with ripples of low pressure riding along it, will promote low level moisture return over the weekend as our chances for showers and thunderstorms get recharged. No all-day washouts are anticipated, although it could be rather unsettled beginning Saturday afternoon.
Next week, isolated thunderstorms will be the rule for early next week, although a couple more concentrated periods of storminess could occur later Tuesday into Wednesday as thunderstorm clusters ride southeastward out of the Tennessee/Ohio Valley region.
