Tracking a nice few days, late week rain chances

TONIGHT: Mostly clear and comfortable with lows in the low to mid-60s.

TOMORROW: Partly to mostly sunny with highs in the mid-upper 80s.

EXTENDED: A few clouds will roll in tonight, but it's still a nice night with lows falling into the lower 60s. Tomorrow is another nice day with highs near our seasonal average in the upper 80s. I'm tracking a front to our north on Thursday that could bring a few showers or storms Thursday night into Friday, especially for areas north of I-70. As winds shift to the southwest, we'll see temperatures rise into the upper 80s to around 90 on Thursday and Friday. The pattern starts to get a bit more active as we head into the weekend as the front hovers across the state. Highs will remain in the upper 80s, but we'll see an increase in showers and storms Saturday night into Sunday. Rain amounts will be in the 1-1.5" range. Next week looks active with several disturbances rolling in, bringing chances for rain early in the week. The Climate Prediction Center has us trending a bit warmer than average heading into the first week of September, with more precipitation than normal.
