Before we get into Thursday’s business, we do have another beautiful day in store.
A tad warmer than yesterday, with highs in the mid 80s, but dewpoints remain comfortable in the mid 50s. Another day to get outside or catch up on any yard work that needs to be done.
Hard to get nicer weather in the middle of June. Today and Tuesday will both have below-average temperatures paired with dewpoints in the upper 40s to mid 50s.
Plenty of sun and dry. Make any excuse you can to get outside.
As of 1:15p, there’s a line of showers/storms just off to our west. We’ll be watching how that behaves, and any potential development behind it.
The Storm Prediction Center has our counties outlooked with a 5% chance of damaging straight-line winds within 25 miles. We are not included in any probabilities for hail or tornadoes. Although I reckon it’s feasible a strong storm could produce some sub-severe sized hail.
There is a low-end, conditional threat of damaging straight-line winds later this evening and into the overnight hours.
The Storm Prediction Cetner has us outlooked with a 5% chance of damaging straight-line winds within 25 miles. We are not included in any probabilities for hail or tornadoes.
As of 12:15p, showers are just about out of here. Models are pretty set on keeping us mostly dry for the remainder of the day after that, with the possible exception of a few quick showers. As of right now, I see no reason to alter any dinner/evening plans.
Another hot one today. Highs will get into the mid 90s, with heat index values in the low 100s thanks to dewpoints near 70°. Again, certainly not unheard of here in the summer, but do stay hydrated and take breaks if you have to be outside for long periods of time. It’s been a while since it’s been this hot.
Although we’ll be dry today and Thursday, they’ll also likely be the two hottest days so far this year (hottest so far is 92° on May 17-19).
High temperatures are likely to reach the mid 90s both days.
Although our Flood Watch has been canceled early, we still do run the risk of some localized flash flooding today – along with a low shot at a strong to severe storm this afternoon and evening.
The Storm Prediction Center has outlooked the majority of our two counties in a 5-15% chance of damaging straight-line winds and a 2% chance of a tornado, both within 25 miles.
We have a Flood Watch in effect today thru 8p.
1.5 – 3″ of rain will be possible today from showers/storms, which could cause flooding – especially in low-lying areas.
The latest HRRR model keeps coverage fairly scattered – but models are guidance, not gospel. We’ll be monitoring things all day, stay weather aware today, especially if you live in a flood-prone areas.
Today will be the last guaranteed dry day for the next little bit. It’ll be a hot one, with high temps nearing 90°. Good day to be near a body of water.
Our rain/storm chances return on Sunday, Wattery style, with scattered showers and storms being possible mainly in the afternoon and evening. Those going to any CMA Fest activities or any other outdoor plans should keep an eye on the radar and know where to head indoors if thunder roars.
