Of course, this model run alone is not Gospel. However, an active pattern with intermixed dry periods are expected over the next 7 days.

Wednesday and Thursday will be predominantly dry with temperatures into the 80s. A frontal boundary will approach the area Friday, increasing our chances for storms.
