Considering the weather we've had over the past several days, this weekend doesn't look too bad, though rain is in the forecast once again. The good news is that heavy rain does not appear to be likely at any point through the next, but we will have a few opportunities for some precipitation.
Today will be the first day in which rainfall is a possibility. In fact, I'd say rain is a good bet for at least parts of the viewing area as the upper-level low over the Ohio Valley (loosely associated with the remnants of Lee) meanders over the region. Regardless we should still see a decent bit of sunshine today with a good mix of clouds and temperatures in the low 80s. By tomorrow we should see cloud cover increase a little as the upper-level low over the Ohio Valley opens up into a broad trough and heads into the Northeast. This combined with a nearly stationary front across the area will lead to scattered shower activity with a few thunderstorms around as well. As stated before heavy rainfall shouldn't be much of an issue, however, as this system has been worked over pretty good... so there isn't much available moisture left to produce heavy rainfall (it's already on the ground).
The trough will swing through the region on Monday with a mix of sun and clouds once again and a stray shower or two across the area. Right now we'll leave the rainfall out of the forecast explicitly and keep our continuity, but we may have to add something if it becomes clear that shower activity will be a little more widespread. In any case temperatures look to make it into the low 80s once again during the afternoon.
Have a great day!
