Summer Heat

Nature is turning up the thermostat through the weekend. Today isn't too bad but Friday and Saturday will be heart of summer type heat. Sunday cools a little but still above average. Friday is the only completely dry day as a few showers and storms will be around today and Saturday. A greater coverage of afternoon showers and storms completes our weekend Sunday. Temperatures cool quite a bit for early next week and we will be in a cool, cloudy and showery pattern. Warmth should return mid to late week.

Forecast Discussion

After some showers and thundershowers roll through this morning, skies will clear a bit. A surface trough of low pressure will keep the chances of showers and storms this afternoon and evening. Temperatures will be warm.

Tomorrow brings summer heat as a ridge of high pressure aloft and at the surface takes over. Friday is dry though. Most of Saturday is dry and hot but by late afternoon, a cold front slowly moving in from the west will be close enough to spark some showers and storms. That cold front is closer Sunday and will generate lots of clouds and a greater coverage of showers and storms. Temperatures cool a little Sunday.

The front slips through Monday but it doesn't get too far east before slowing down again. Much cooler air will move in Monday and it will be cloudy with showers and maybe some thunderstorms around. The cooler air remains for Tuesday along with clouds but there should be less in the way of showers as the stalled front remains not too far to the east. Temperatures start to warm Wednesday as a warm front moves through. That warm front will keep a chance of showers and lots of clouds for Wednesday.
