Sorry for the late blog today… sometimes I really don’t know where the time goes!  I have been working on some new graphics this afternoon…

Today, another scorcher… with highs in the lower 90s.  The humidity is definitely higher this afternoon, as well… with our dew points in the low 70s!  Ouch!  Use caution outside today, as heat index values could get into the mid-to-upper 90s.

A cold front is approaching… it should get here late today.  As the afternoon goes on, the chance of thunderstorms increases.  As of noon, there is nothing going on… but we’re waiting for development to our Northwest.  Thunderstorms likely won’t impact us until sometime after 3pm today.  But any thunderstorm that does move in will have the potential to become severe.  Damaging winds are the main threat… with the potential for some hail… and VERY heavy rain!!  Keep an eye to the sky late afternoon/evening.

Unfortunately, the cold front will NOT bring in colder air for the weekend.  Friday and Saturday we’ll be back in the upper 80s to near 90 degrees.  The humidity will come down a bit, but it will still be a little muggy.  A stronger cold front will move through Saturday night, bringing much more comfortable air into the area for next week.  Lower temps AND lower humidity.  I can’t wait!!
