Increasing Clouds Wednesday

Today’s sunshine was even more enjoyable than yesterday’s because there was little in the way of wind.  High pressure centered nearby was responsible for the calmer conditions, but that high will continue to build eastward so that southerly winds will pick up tomorrow.  More clouds are in the forecast for the middle of the week, but the cold front that will bring us a chance for rain won’t be close enough to impact our weather until late Wednesday night and especially during the day Thursday.  Scattered showers and thunderstorms will increase across the area on Thursday with the best chance of rain Thursday midday through the first half of Friday.  After that point it looks like the front will keep moving away to usher in drier weather for Friday afternoon and most of the weekend.  By Sunday we could find another system quickly moving through that could trigger a few showers, but it doesn’t look like a major player as far as inclement weather goes.  Look for highs tomorrow to be very mild - mainly in the middle 70s over the Upstate with highs near 70 in the mountains.
