Today and tomorrow look dry. If we were to see any rain, it’d be today, but those chances are very low. Sun will dominate, thankfully dewpoints will be tame so heat index values will not differ greatly from the actual temp.

The Wattery Keeps Rollin’
Typical middle of June day, the same can be said for Friday and Saturday. Wattery and hot. Sunday is a little different, we’ll touch on that later.
Refresher on the term “Wattery”. It’s complex but tell your friends and they’ll be sooo impressed. A four-sided pun? Who wouldn’t just be flabbergasted about your vast knowledge.
Unsettled Weather Pattern Begins Today
The dry streak can only last so long, and it looks to come to an end today.
HRRR model (above) thinks our best chance of seeing rain/a storm will be this afternoon and evening. Additional showers/storms are possible around sunset. No severe weather expected, but lightning, gusty winds, and heavy downpours all possible.
Dry, But Not For Long
Increasing Rain Chances and Temps Throughout the Week
Severe Weather Threat Today, Main Threat Damaging Straight-Line Winds
The Storm Prediction Center has outlooked both of our counties with a
- 30% chance of damaging (58mph+) straight-line winds within 25 miles
- 30% chance of severe (1″+) hail within 25 miles
- 2% chance of a tornado within 25 miles (98% chance you will NOT see a tornado within 25 miles of you!)
Timing
HRRR model (above) thinks 6-8pm is the timeframe for our two counties. This could change throughout the day, so keep tuned for updates. The primary threat is damaging straight-line winds, followed by severe hail, and then a tornado.
Air Quality Alert Today, Severe Weather Threat Sunday, Active Week Ahead
Another dry, yet warm today. Enjoy it because starting tomorrow we get active weather wise.
Air Quality Alert will be in effect all day. “The general public is not likely to be affected. Active children and adults, and people with a respiratory disease such as Asthma, should limit prolonged outdoor exertion.”
Dry Streak Comes To An End This Weekend
Rain will be a welcome sight to many this weekend…unless you have outdoor plans. Latest U.S. Drought Monitor has us as “abnormally dry.” Sounds right.
Hi-Res Models, which are just coming into view, generally agree that scattered showers and storms will arrive Sunday morning. That’s about all we can get from those models right now….because that’s as far out as they go. The lower-res models pick up from there and keep rain off/on all day Sunday into Sunday night.
