Clouds and some fog at first Wednesday. Otherwise, partly to mostly cloudy with a 40% chance of showers and storms, especially between 2 and 8 PM ET as a cold front swings through the region. Highs in the upper 80s and lower 90s.

A few showers are possible overnight. There could be some patchy fog early Thursday. Lows in the upper 60s to near 70 degrees.

Even though the front will be to our south Thursday, it doesn’t look like we’ll be any drier now because the upper level flow from the west is still going to drag in more moisture at times. There is around a 40% coverage of rain in the forecast again; a few of those showers may move in during the morning hours. Highs mostly in the mid 80s.
