Looking Ahead
A moist and unstable weather pattern will prevail over most of the state the next couple of days as an area of low pressure to the northwest moves closer. The approaching low will bring muggy weather, as well as periods of rain, some heavy at times, and a slight chance of thunderstorms. As the low weakens, a drying trend is expected toward the end of the week. This may be short-lived however, as another low develops nearby next weekend. Trade winds are not expected for at least the next week.
