Today Sweaty. Sunday Rainy (& Cooler!)

Highest heat and humidity combo of the spring expected today. High temps in the shade 93° with dewpoints 66° to 68°.

The May 21 record high is 94° (1941). We may tie it.

Rain/Storms are unlikely. A few model runs had storms popping up late this afternoon / early tonight, but most models think not. It’s totally possible tho so keep an eye on it. read more

Ned Saving The Day (so far!), But He Can’t Fix The Heat & Humidity

The morning weather balloon showed our atmosphere r-e-a-d-y to storm but our hero Ned is there, capping us off, preventing it all from happening. Hold on, Ned!

Models disagree about today. It’s causing forecast headaches.

The HRRR model has storms missing you today and tonight.

The Euro has storms coming in here late afternoon/early tonight.

Which is “right?” Great question! Who knows? When “reliable” tools contradict the lesson isn’t “pick one,” it’s “we don’t really know.” read more

Let’s talk Wednesday.

Dewpoint up to the mid 60°s by late Weds afternoon and staying there through Thursday. #schweddy

Dodging Storms Today And Tomorrow

No record breaking heat today (we’d have to make it to 92°; that record was set many, many years ago in 2018). Mid 80’s with low 60’s dewpoints = you’ll be a bit uncomfortable. read more
