Here's the situation: A shortwave disturbance is rippling up over the area from the southwest. This began with cloud cover moving in last night, and will keep scattered showers in the forecast the next several days as the disturbance moves over the area and then out. Here's current radar with some light scattered showers, and I think these will slowly increase to scattered showers & thunderstorms this afternoon when instability is the greatest. Severe weather isn't in the cards with this round but a few rumbles of thunder etc. here and there shouldn't surprise you. The greatest chances of widespread rainfall are Friday daytime, and Saturday daytime. I think showers will move on out Sunday afternoon. Upper-level ridging moves in behind this disturbance, making next week look warm and dry again to start. -Greg@660weather
