Rain Chances On the Rise

Tonight: Dry Evening, Temperatures Cool Into the 80s

Afternoon showers that develop will quickly collapse and not pose much of a problem for evening plans. Expect mostly dry conditions with temperatures cooling back through the 80s.

Saturday: HOT Again, Better Rain Chance – High 90°

A cold front will be on the approach from the northwest, and the tropical low we’ve been discussing all week long will inch closer to our area. These two systems are expected to merge over the weekend, so throughout this process we can anticipate *at least* scattered storm activity. Additionally, if you are traveling west or northwest over the next few days, you can expect to run into rain at some point. read more

Rain Becoming Likely This Weekend

Tonight: Isolated Showers Quickly End

Like clockwork, any rain will end quickly as we lose daytime heating this evening. Temperatures will fall through the low to mid 80s for any outdoor plans, but it will still be quite humid.

Thursday: Scattered Storms, Heaviest Stays South – High 91°

The chance for thunderstorms will increase slightly on Thursday in accordance with another slug of moisture that swings our way from the Gulf of Mexico. To better visualize this, check out the PWAT values (note: “PWAT” is short for precipitable water…known as the “measure of the depth of liquid water at the surface that would result after precipitating all of the water vapor in a vertical column over a given location…”). read more

Warm Temperatures Continue

Current Radar

Tonight: Scattered Storms Possible, Then Clearing – 9PM 81°

Afternoon storms will continue into the evening but after sunset, these should fall apart. Expect this evening to be a few degrees cooler than what we’ve seen recently!

*Update: Here’s how the HRRR plays out this evening. We should be in the clear given the radar, but the HRRR wants to throw some more showers at us. Pack a poncho just in case. read more
