Triad Weather: Cooler Start, Afternoon Heat Ahead
24 Aug
Summary
- Humidity drops as drier air moves into the Piedmont Triad on Sunday.
- Morning temperatures will range from the upper 50s to low 60s early next week.
- A cold front on Thursday brings a 50% chance of afternoon rain and storms.
The Piedmont Triad experienced a welcome drop in humidity on Sunday, attributed to drier air following a cold front. This transition ushers in a pleasant start to the week, with overnight temperatures falling into the 70s. Monday morning will offer a hint of fall weather, with lows in the low 60s, potentially reaching the upper 50s in some areas, under mostly sunny skies before afternoon highs climb to the mid-80s.
Tuesday is expected to mirror Monday's pleasant conditions, featuring mostly sunny skies, lows in the upper 50s to low 60s, and highs in the mid-80s, with low humidity. However, a gradual shift in wind direction will begin introducing moisture by late Tuesday.
Wednesday will see partly cloudy skies as southeast winds increase humidity, leading to warmer, more "wearable" air. Morning temperatures will be in the mid-60s, with highs reaching the mid- to upper-80s. The next significant chance for rain arrives Thursday with a cold front, bringing a 50% probability of afternoon showers and storms.
Looking ahead to Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, partly cloudy conditions are expected to prevail. Each day will feature morning lows in the upper 60s and afternoon highs in the mid- to upper-80s, with a 30% chance of scattered pop-up storms each afternoon.
