It sure is nice to not be under a Heat Advisory today. Temps “only” in the upper 80’s/low 90’s.
Humidity won’t be as bad the next couple of days, will make being outside more bearable.
Few Drier and “Cooler” Days Ahead
Baby, Write This Down, Take a Little Note: Heat Advisory Today, Strong (Severe?) Storms Possible
Another day, another Heat Advisory from noon to 7pm. Heat index values up to 108° possible.
We’ll be hoping for a shot at some rain/storms this afternoon to cool us off.
HRRR model (above) thinks very little activity will pop-up near us this afternoon, likely leaving us to bake. Any lightning delays for the concert look unlikely, but you just never know exactly where these will pop-up at.
Upper 90’s Come and Go Like One Direction, Heat Advisory Today, Prob Tomorrow
Heat Advisory today from noon to 7p. If you have anything you just have to get done outside, I’d get it done before noon. Heat index values up to 109° possible.
This I Promise You…heat exhaustion has no mercy. Take it easy outdoors, inside is always better. If you just absolutely have to be outside, take frequent breaks in the shade and drink plenty of water. Look before you lock, never leave a child or pet inside a car, even if it is “just for a few minutes.” Cracking your windows doesn’t count either.
Heat Advisory Today, Probably Tomorrow + Saturday Too
Heat Advisory today for both counties from 1p – 7p.
Why?
Actual air temps in the upper 90’s + dewpoints in the low 70’s = heat index values of 105° + likely.
“Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young children and pets should never (!!!) be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances.“
So You’re Telling Me There’s a Chance?
Low rain chances for the next 7 days. But we know how yesterday ended for some…weather gonna weather whether you like it or not.
HRRR model keeps us dry today, throws some on/off showers at us tomorrow.
Not Much Rain In Sight, But Heat Sure Is
Not much in the way of rain for the next 7 days. Each day carries a very small chance of some, you’d be very lucky (or unlucky) if you got some.
Temps slowly increase into the mid 90’s by midweek and heat index values will be from 100° – 105°. This is justtt below Heat Advisory criteria, but doesn’t mean it should be taken any less seriously. Take frequent breaks and drink plenty of water.
Humidity Only Gets Worse
Today will be the best day out of the next seven. Lowest humidity, dry, lots of sun. Great day for some soccer (or fútbol).
After today, we stay dry (probably, very unlikely but a stray shower or storm can’t totally be ruled out), but humidity increases and temps will feel like mid to upper 90’s the rest of the week. Typical for late July.
Dry, Dry, and More Dry
We (finally) get a few days of dry and not-so-bad humidity. Can’t complain for late July. Heat and humidity picks up a bit Tuesday and hangs around the rest of the week, but rain chances stay low.
Finally, Some Relief
For the first time since Monday, I don’t have to mention severe weather or flash flooding in the title. Whew.
HRRR model (above) keeps most of the activity to our south today. We may see a stray shower, but mostly dry. Finally.
More Chances at Severe Weather + Flash Flooding Today
We yet again have chances for severe weather and flash flooding today.
The Storm Prediction Center has outlooked us with a:
- 15% chance of damaging straight-line winds within 25 miles
- 5% chance of severe hail within 25 miles
- 2% chance of a tornado within 25 miles
Additionally, the Flood Watch that was originally set to expire at noon has been extended until 6pm. “Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible…” Head on a swivel, especially if you live in a flood-prone area. Turn around, don’t drown.
