Heat Advisory today from noon to 7p. If you have anything you just have to get done outside, I’d get it done before noon. Heat index values up to 109° possible.

This I Promise You…heat exhaustion has no mercy. Take it easy outdoors, inside is always better. If you just absolutely have to be outside, take frequent breaks in the shade and drink plenty of water. Look before you lock, never leave a child or pet inside a car, even if it is “just for a few minutes.” Cracking your windows doesn’t count either. read more

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

For the first time since Monday, I don’t have to mention severe weather or flash flooding in the title. Whew.

HRRR model (above) keeps most of the activity to our south today. We may see a stray shower, but mostly dry. Finally. read more

We yet again have chances for severe weather and flash flooding today.

The Storm Prediction Center has outlooked us with a:

• 15% chance of damaging straight-line winds within 25 miles
• 5% chance of severe hail within 25 miles
• 2% chance of a tornado within 25 miles

Additionally, the Flood Watch that was originally set to expire at noon has been extended until 6pm. “Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible…” Head on a swivel, especially if you live in a flood-prone area. Turn around, don’t drown. read more

Both counties will be under a Flood Watch from midnight tonight until noon Thursday. 1-3″ of additional rain is possible, with a few pockets containing heavier rain possible.
