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.
Although it’s still hot today – it won’t be as hot as the past couple of days. Highs in the low 90s, dewpoints are still up in the low 70s, so it’s still pretty muggy. Dry.
Thursday and Friday will be slightly nicer as dewpoints drop back into the 60s, with highs near 90°. No rain chances, so both will be great days to get outside.
Our Heat Advisory is now in effect until Tuesday evening.
Afternoon highs in the mid 90s with dewpoints in the mid to upper 70s will send heat index values near 105°. Please take precautions against this heat, such as staying hydrated and taking frequent breaks. Know the signs of heat illness and what to do if you are someone else is experiencing any symptoms.
While we will be dry (and hot) during the day today, we are looking at the possibility of a wind bag later tonight.
The Storm Prediction Center has introduced a 15% chance of damaging straight-line winds and a 2% chance of a tornado within 25 miles for us. We are not included in any hail probabilities.
A couple more hours of on/off showers this morning. Nothing too crazy, but you’ll need rain gear for any plans.
