Forecast: Staying hot with a few afternoon storms

The above-average summer heat continues today with highs on track to reach the mid-90s and “feels-like” temps in the triple digits. The combination of drier air aloft and a ridge of high pressure will help keep temperatures high and rain chances in the isolated category.  A few storms will still fire up from the mid to late afternoon, but the overall coverage of rain will be around 40%.  Temperatures will be quite toasty again today as highs soar to the mid-90s. Heat index values will range from 103-110 degrees.  Saturday will be very similar with plenty of sun, heat, and...

Forecast: Hot weather for this week

Higher than normal temperatures continue for the next few days as high pressure settles overhead. High pressure continues to settle over the area, bringing with it some unseasonably dry air in the mid-levels. This dry air won’t translate to lower humidity at the surface, but it will drop rain chances at least through the end of the week. Limited rain coverage will allow temperatures to soar above normal with most areas topping out in the mid 90s. Into next week, a trough could dig through the eastern US, helping to erode away at the aforementioned high. As a result, rain chances...

Forecast: Warm, muggy, & dry tonight

Any showers and storms will wrap up after dark before we repeat the pattern again on Monday. An east wind, thanks to a persistent Bermuda high, will keep showers and storms focused at the coast for the start of the week. Slightly weaker east flow will allow the sea breeze to develop during the afternoon Monday, possibly lending to more storms at the immediate coast. Either way, no sensible changes are expected in the pattern through Thursday. By late week models hint at some drier air working over the state again which may briefly lower rain chances for Friday into next weekend. The...
