The main headline over the next week or so will be the brutal heat. We also have some conditional storm threats to deal with, but I’ll start off with the heat.
Being outdoors for any period of time over the next…week, will not be much fun.
The good news is that models have backed off on our rain chances this week. We’ve seen more than enough of that, so I am all for a break.
The bad news is that in return to the lower rain chances, this will allow for our heat to turn up a few notches.
Thankfully, rain chances will be on the lower end of things, around 10-15%, thru Tuesday. We are good on rain.
Still can’t rule out a stray shower/storm during the afternoon/early evening hours, but I do think winning Wattery tickets will be few and far between.
I could copy and paste yesterday’s blog – and it would be just fine. I won’t – but I could.
Yesterday ended up being a tad more eventful than expected, but that’s the name of the game.
Happy Friday! Another day of playing the Wattery (water + lottery) while dealing with the summer heat.
Highs get into the mid 90s, with dewpoints in the low to mid 70s. Not a great combo, sending heat index values around 100°.
Another day in this Wattery (water + lottery) pattern, feeling the dog days of summer.
Low-end rain/storm chances will yet again be around this afternoon and evening. No severe weather is expected – but as we saw yesterday, any storm could produce some localized flooding issues, along with plenty of lightning and some gusty winds.
It is summer, and we typically get these fairly consistent patterns – but I admit, I’m not a big fan of it.
Regardless of if we like it or not, we have to deal with it. So, onward.
Daily rain/storm chances will continue over at least the next seven days, bouncing back and forth between “low” and “medium” chances.
Our quiet-ish pattern continues.
Today thru Thursday we’ll see similar conditions. A stray shower possible in the afternoon hours, perhaps a rumble of thunder to go along with it. Don’t think this means any rainouts, as any accumulation would be fairly light (if any at all) – so shouldn’t see any impacts to sports practices or if you are going out and playing 18. No severe weather worries.
“Coolest” day of the week award goes to today. Highs only in the mid 80s with dewpoints in the mid to upper 60s, not great, not terrible. Likely staying dry, although it’s not impossible we see a quick shower.
Bottom line: we are outlooked at a Marginal (1/5) risk for severe storms this afternoon and evening, with the higher-end threat sitting east of I-65. Behind today’s front, the back half of the weekend and early next week turn cooler and wetter than we’ve been used to.
