Tonight: PM Storms Diminish, Muggy and Warm – 9PM 84°

Any afternoon storm development will be shutting down by sunset. Expect warm and muggy conditions this evening with temps in the mid 80s by 9PM. Abundant moisture in the air makes it more difficult to cool down, so your post-workday lounge on the porch may not be as comfortable as other nights. Even your camera phone feels the moisture-laden, soupy air. read more

Tonight: Slight Chance of Showers – Temps Into the Mid-70s

Any lingering shower from this afternoon shouldn’t last much into the evening after sunset. Partly cloudy skies should follow through the night.

The NAM 4 shows us getting some scattered showers during the late overnight hours (after midnight) but seems to be the only model with this thinking. Worth the mention, but we will wait to see what the HRRR has to say about that happening later this afternoon. read more

Hot Week Ahead, It’s My Turn to Write the Blog; Therefore, a Rant

Y’all. Sharknado4 comes out in 2 weeks. 

Sharknado is a lot of fun. Best viewed with friends, responsibly consumed alcoholic beverages, and crazy-low expectations.
Highs Monday through Sunday: 95°, 95°, 94°, 96°, 96°, 95°, 95°. Although the GFS model has a few late week temps over 100°, the GFS model has joined the “It’ll be hot, but not that hot” movement started by the Euro model this afternoon. Maybe not over 100°. But still….
The heat & humidity combo is the bigger deal. Afternoon dewpoints will hover around 70° all week. According to this unofficial chart, we’ll end up somewhere between ruined hairdos and needing fish lungs.
