Heat Advisory today for both counties from 1p – 7p.

Why?

Actual air temps in the upper 90’s + dewpoints in the low 70’s = heat index values of 105° + likely.

Low rain chances for the next 7 days. But we know how yesterday ended for some…weather gonna weather whether you like it or not.

HRRR model keeps us dry today, throws some on/off showers at us tomorrow. read more

Not much in the way of rain for the next 7 days. Each day carries a very small chance of some, you’d be very lucky (or unlucky) if you got some.

Temps slowly increase into the mid 90’s by midweek and heat index values will be from 100° – 105°. This is justtt below Heat Advisory criteria, but doesn’t mean it should be taken any less seriously. Take frequent breaks and drink plenty of water. read more

Today will be the best day out of the next seven. Lowest humidity, dry, lots of sun. Great day for some soccer (or fútbol).

After today, we stay dry (probably, very unlikely but a stray shower or storm can’t totally be ruled out), but humidity increases and temps will feel like mid to upper 90’s the rest of the week. Typical for late July. read more

We (finally) get a few days of dry and not-so-bad humidity. Can’t complain for late July. Heat and humidity picks up a bit Tuesday and hangs around the rest of the week, but rain chances stay low. read more
