Scattered showers and storms continue today, and coverage looks much more widespread. Storms start firing up around lunchtime and hang around into the overnight hours. Nothing severe expected, but lots of lightning, thunder, and downpours can happen with these. The potential for rain/lightning delays to anything outdoors exists. Radar will definitely be handy today.
Expect scattered showers/storms today. These will miss a lot of us, and will not be like the rain event we had yesterday. These will affect our counties from late afternoon until bedtime, around 10pm. Nothing severe is expected with these scattered storms but be prepared for lightning and heavy downpours if on of these storms gets close to where you are.
Let’s get right into it. A Flash Flood Watch was issued earlier this morning including our counties. It’s in effect until 7pm tonight as of now. Keep a close eye on your weather alert apps in case Flash Flood Warnings are issued.
It’s been pretty dry for the last week or so. Some incoming rainmakers look to change that for us. There’s Tropical Storm Nicholas that will bring some tropical moisture to the area. Add a front moving in from our northwest and you get widespread rain chances.
You might’ve noticed some fog in the area this morning if you were up early, this is because of the humidity. Although the fog dissipated already, the humidity is here to stay. Temps will be in the upper 80s today, and dewpoints in the upper 60s, so it’ll be uncomfortable.
Today, as a high pressure ridge moves into our area, we can expect a completely clear day. Temperatures will rise a little higher than the last few days, slightly higher than the yearly average.
Here’s the perfectly clear HRRR model in case you want proof.
Other than temps being slightly above average, (our normal for this time of year is mid 80’s) there isn’t much better weekend weather you could ask for. Clear and sunny skies will dominate, along with dewpoints being in the low 60’s, almost too good to be true.
Sun today and temps in the low 80s. Dewpoint should hang out in the upper 50’s, so no need to worry about feeling sticky. Thank you surface high pressure.
HRRR shows nothing in terms of rain, all outdoor weekend plans are safe.
It’s a quiet one today. But hey it could be worse right?! The fog has mixed out from this morning leaving us with a beautiful day. High temps reaching the low 80’s and dew points in the mid 50’s. Thanks to the cold front yesterday, highs and lows are staying below average until the weekend. Models have us staying dry today and for the rest of the week plus the weekend. This will stick until early next week.
A few of us may get rained on today, but certainly not all of us. A moisture starved cool front will move through setting off a few showers/storms right along the front. But, we’re not expecting any problems out of these. If you have outdoor plans this afternoon and evening, have a plan for a brief shower or weak lightning storm. Otherwise, carry on!
