It looks like summer continues this week. The main story is going to be this heat and humidity.

Monday

As of 8:14 AM, it is 73°F with a dew point of 68°F. Ugh.

Heatwave to Envelope the Region This Weekend into Early Next Week

Friday through Sunday

Hot and humid with highs in the lower 90s and dew points in the upper 60s and lower 70s. This will allow for heat indexes to climb into the mid and upper 90s.

The latest run of the NAM3 model shows just a few pop up storms Friday through Sunday: read more

Storms Possible Today; Smaller Storm Chances Into the Weekend; Heating Up A Notch or Two

Yesterday was an eventful day weather-wise as storms bubbled up over I-65. They exceeded our expectations both in how many there were and how long they lasted. The expectation was that a few isolated cells would develop in the heat of the day, rain themselves out as the sun began to set, and leave us with a quiet night. Instead, we had numerous storms develop that were very electrically active and dropped some small hail. read more

Summer Pattern Continues With Pop-Up Storms; Some Cool Rainfall Stats

Wednesday

Notice the H’s near us on the map. High pressure is in control today. This typically puts a lid on the atmosphere’s willingness to storm.

There won’t be much of a breeze to provide relief, so take frequent water breaks! read more
