Not much to it today… expected to be warm and sunny. Any belated Labor Day plans are a full go. Slightly warmer than average highs in the upper 80s. Still enough to get us excited for fall. Dewps jump around a bit. Mostly at or below 60 degrees (comfortable) until later this afternoon. Low to mid 60s (sticky) this evening through tomorrow night.

Rainy Sunday; Dry Labor Day & Week Ahead
A big blob of bleh moved into our area this morning. Lingering rain moves through our area the rest of the day. Nothing severe. See HRRR below:
Rain becomes way more patchy after the initial round this morning. Some areas will get more rain than others. Looks like things should clear up around 6, so anything outdoors in the evening shouldn’t be at risk of rain.
Starting Off Great, Clouds Later, Rain Tomorrow
Dry and Pleasant Today, Rain Chance Sunday
Today, there is no rain in sight. Temperatures will be in the low 80’s, and dewpoints in the 60’s. It’ll be a great day for outdoor activities.
Next Rain Chance
Eyes are on Sunday as the next day for rain. A low pressure trough will start pushing south, and with it comes some rain chances. The HRRR, as of now, thinks this will enter our area early in the morning Sunday, but this timing is uncertain. Other models think it’ll be later.
Drier and Cooler Pattern Continues Through Saturday; Next Chance of Rain Sunday
“Low humidity and mild temperatures will make today and Friday fantastic”.
Words straight from the NWS.
Alright, now let’s talk about why Thursday is looking so fantastic. High temps will be in the low 80’s & dewpoints will be in the high 50’s. Talk about a comfortable day. Ida took all the moisture with it I guess, and we are not complaining.
Out With Ida, In With Drier/Cooler Conditions
We finished up with Ida last night. What better way to follow it up than with clear skies and comfortable temps/dewps?
So what’s up? A little tease of fall, that’s what. Highs the next couple days hang out in the lower 80s, a couple degrees below average. What you really want to hear is that dewps are on a downward trend. Sticky today, but we might just creep into that “comfortable” range tomorrow and Friday–a far cry from the 66+ degree dewps we’ve come to know and hate.

Remnants of Ida Approach Today
Let’s jump right in. Ida made landfall yesterday as a category 4 hurricane. It has since weakened down to a tropical storm, and is expected to be a tropical depression when it comes through our area, far weaker than what we’ve seen in Louisiana. Our impacts will be somewhat dependent on the exact track Ida takes as it turns our direction. We’ll be publishing a special blog this afternoon/evening with all of the details that become evident throughout the day.
