Cranking Up The Heat…

  • Much more dry time than stormy
  • Heat and humidity reach dangerous levels this weekend
  • Cooler next week

Splash And Dash Storms, But Most Remain Dry…A quick glance at the forecast above may suggest wet times, but don’t let that fool you.  “Isolated” and “scattered” are key words. While we’re still keeping an eye on the potential of a more widespread complex of storms late tonight/ early Thursday, we’re far from confident on the precise location of this potential storm complex and short term modeling isn’t offering up much help.  Regardless, with such a muggy air mass in place, an isolated storm could fire anytime between now and the weekend.  There are a couple periods we’re watching for more concentrated storm potential (Friday evening and Sunday).  Timing remains fluid.

The big story with this forecast remains the heat and humidity.  Temperatures will soar into the middle 90s this weekend and when you combine those hot readings with dew points in the lower and middle 70s, dangerous conditions result for anyone with longstanding outdoor plans.  Have a means of taking frequent breaks and receiving plenty of water.  The heat and humidity this weekend will be a serious situation.

Upcoming 7-Day Precipitation Forecast: 

  • Snowfall: 0.00″
  • Rainfall: 0.25″-0.50″ (locally heavier totals)
