The good news is that models have backed off on our rain chances this week. We’ve seen more than enough of that, so I am all for a break.
The bad news is that in return to the lower rain chances, this will allow for our heat to turn up a few notches.
Thankfully, rain chances will be on the lower end of things, around 10-15%, thru Tuesday. We are good on rain.
Still can’t rule out a stray shower/storm during the afternoon/early evening hours, but I do think winning Wattery tickets will be few and far between.
I could copy and paste yesterday’s blog – and it would be just fine. I won’t – but I could.
Yesterday ended up being a tad more eventful than expected, but that’s the name of the game.
Happy Friday! Another day of playing the Wattery (water + lottery) while dealing with the summer heat.
Highs get into the mid 90s, with dewpoints in the low to mid 70s. Not a great combo, sending heat index values around 100°.
Another day in this Wattery (water + lottery) pattern, feeling the dog days of summer.
Low-end rain/storm chances will yet again be around this afternoon and evening. No severe weather is expected – but as we saw yesterday, any storm could produce some localized flooding issues, along with plenty of lightning and some gusty winds.
It is summer, and we typically get these fairly consistent patterns – but I admit, I’m not a big fan of it.
Regardless of if we like it or not, we have to deal with it. So, onward.
Daily rain/storm chances will continue over at least the next seven days, bouncing back and forth between “low” and “medium” chances.
Our quiet-ish pattern continues.
Today thru Thursday we’ll see similar conditions. A stray shower possible in the afternoon hours, perhaps a rumble of thunder to go along with it. Don’t think this means any rainouts, as any accumulation would be fairly light (if any at all) – so shouldn’t see any impacts to sports practices or if you are going out and playing 18. No severe weather worries.
“Coolest” day of the week award goes to today. Highs only in the mid 80s with dewpoints in the mid to upper 60s, not great, not terrible. Likely staying dry, although it’s not impossible we see a quick shower.
Another nice day in store. By last day of July standards, dewpoints will be comfortable in the low 60s, with highs temps “only” near 90°. No rain chances.
Saturday, not so much of a nice day as we kick off August.
Certainly more comfortable outside this morning compared to yesterday, with dewpoints about 10° lower, now in the lower 60s. Not too bad for late July.
Similar weather today and Friday. Those nicer dewpoints stick around with highs near 90°. No rain. About as good as it gets by summer standards as we close out July – which I have no clue how we are about to enter the eighth month of the year.
