Saturday Evening Update:
We saw very warm temperatures today and will continue to see them as we enter the evening hours, dropping into the upper 70s by 10 pm.
Skies will clear a bit this evening temporarily, but clouds return early tomorrow morning.
Our nightly low will come in just prior to sunrise, only dropping into the 60s. Heading into tomorrow, we will return to seeing the upper 80s to low 90s for our high temperatures.
As a low pressure system shifts up from the panhandle of Texas to Kansas and onward, moisture will move northward from the Gulf and produce showers tomorrow.
A majority of the widespread activity will remain to the west of us, but we will see some isolated showers and thunderstorms. As of now, the threat of seeing any severe thunderstorms is minimal, but damaging wind gusts are possible with a few of these storms.
As that low pressure heads northward, it will decrease the temperatures in the midwest. That being said, temperatures for most of the east coast, including ourselves, will remain well above average. This will lead us into a week with more warm temperatures.
Saturday Morning:
This morning, our dewpoints are already on the rise. Our muggy meter is in the “noticeable” category. We will have a bit more moisture in the atmosphere today thanks to a weather-maker just to our north.
Our temperatures are still above average this morning, already in the upper 50s and 60s. It is a great morning to get outside, and we will continue to see temperatures in the above average catagory for the entire day.
Today, highs will move into the upper 90s as we continue the heat wave. The next chance we have to experience seasonal temperatures will arrive for one day only on Tuesday, before we turn up the heat again late week and into next weekend.
Of course, it will be a hot one today, but at least we are dry! That will change tomorrow with an active pattern arriving with another cold front. Showers and thunderstorms will be isolated on Sunday afternoon, so be sure to pack the umbrella if you are headed out and about.
Tomorrow will not be the only chance of rainfall! Daily showers and storms are on deck daily, Sunday through next Friday. This is good news as this will hopefully help to alleviate our drought conditions.
