The HRRR model shows showers and storms beginning to pop up around 3 pm. Some people may get some rain while others don’t see a drop.
Stronger storms should remain to our south, but we can’t rule out one rolling into your neighborhood. The main threats with strong storms are gusty winds, lightning, and heavy rainfall. But that’s pretty unlikely.
The HRRR is showing much of the rain staying in the far east portion of the state today.
We can’t rule out a stray shower or storm rolling into your backyard late this afternoon, but we should be looking at some drier conditions.
It’s going to be hot.
High temps will be around 94°, but the dew point will reach as high as 73°. This will push heat index values into the upper 90s and even low 100s.
We should be relatively dry throughout the day. The HRRR has most of the storms staying west and south of us.
That cold front that came through this weekend is doing us some good.
Even better news? There’s another one that’s coming through tonight into early Tuesday morning.
Dew points are expected to reach 65° this afternoon. It will still feel sticky outside, but mixed with those lower temps, it’s going to feel noticeably better than what we experienced in late July.
Some areas have already gotten wet today and scattered showers and storms will continue throughout the afternoon and evening hours as a cold front moves through the area. They should be heading out before midnight.
We’re still following that typical summertime pattern: hot and humid with some afternoon storms.
The dew point will reach around 73° today. This will help those heat index values to get up into the upper 90s and possibly even 100 in some areas.
At 10 am, the heat index has already been recorded at 90° and the dew point at 72°.
Heat index values will be in the upper 90s today, but some places could see some feel-like temps of 100.
The dew point will stay in the lower 70s today, which could help to spark some showers and storms.
The sun has returned to start the work week.
There may be a stray shower that could pop up in your backyard, but for the most part we will be dry. The HRRR model shows most shower formation being south and west of us.
The youngest victim was 10 months old.
There have been over 800 deaths from vehicular heatstroke since 1998, and over half of those (54%) have been from kids under the age of 2.
It gets really hot really fast in your car, even if you leave the windows cracked. Before you get out, make sure to double check your backseat!
Looking to be another hot and muggy day. Dew points will reach as high as 72°, which will help the heat index climb up to 96°.
Those high dew point values don’t only help the heat index: they also help to fuel those scattered showers and storms we’ve been seeing.
