Highlights:
- Stormy tonight for some
- Heat builds this week
- Better storm chances return for the weekend
A cold front remains off to our northwest as we type this and big storms are firing across northern portions of the state. We’ll keep a close eye on those as they move southeast tonight and begin to pick up more forward momentum in the coming hours. They’ve had a history of producing damaging hail. Remain weather-aware this evening.
Thankfully we’ll begin to inject a drier air mass (briefly) into the region Tuesday. A nice day is coming with lower humidity. Most of the second half of the work week will also remain dry, but as humidity increases we have to mention the threat of an isolated to widely scattered storm. The big story will be the heat as highs push into the 90 degree territory. Prepare to sweat!
Better chances of showers and thunderstorms will push back into the region over the upcoming weekend. We’re not forecast a complete washout either Saturday or Sunday, but with a very humid air mass in place, any shower or storm that develops will have the capability of producing torrential downpours.
Upcoming 7-Day Rainfall Potential: 1.5″ – 2.5″
