7 DAY FORECAST

After a break from last week’s stormy, humid conditions, the region has settled into a pleasant, if slightly cooler, weather pattern. This relief will last through Sunday. However, as we head into the new week, expect isolated or scattered thunderstorms, mostly in the afternoon and evening, with temperatures remaining steady around 80 degrees. Humidity will increase slightly, but not to the overwhelming levels seen earlier. This pattern provides favorable rainfall for our recently parched soils, offering relief to local flora and potentially easing drought conditions, although it does make outdoor plans a bit uncertain.
