DAYS 1-5 (AUGUST 6-10)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A short update today to start your weekend. Basically more of the same for our area this weekend and to start the week with a weak zonal flow aloft and a Bermuda High in place – classic summertime pattern for heat and humidity and daily opportunities for showers and thunderstorms. The percentage chance and coverage of activity today and Sunday will be a little lower than yesterday, but still that doesn’t mean that areas that were missed by yesterday’s activity could not be hit by something today and\/or Sunday. It’s just a hit and miss kind of thing that we don’t really know until there are storms developed, and then we can track in real time. So if you have weekend outdoor plans, don’t cancel them for rain \/ lightning risk, but be very weather-aware not only for these possibilities, but the certainty of the danger from higher heat and humidity. Stay out of direct sun when possible, use sun screen, and most importantly, stay hydrated! A cold front presses closer to the region Monday and probably moves into and slowly through the region Tuesday when our shower and thunderstorm chances go up again. This at least brings some chance of a more widespread beneficial rainfall event for the region, although one such event will not be a drought buster. These can set the table for better relief if a more promising rainfall pattern follows it, and I can’t promise that at this point. Beyond Tuesday, there is some possibility that the front may be slow enough to allow a wave of low pressure to bring additional shower activity to the region Wednesday, but confidence is lower on this. One thing I am pretty sure of is that by then, the heatwave will be a memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAYS 6-10 (AUGUST 11-15)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High pressure pushes in during the period with mostly dry weather expected for much of the period, more seasonable temperatures as well, and lower humidity at least for the first part of the period before it may increase again. The very end of the period may feature unsettled weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DAYS 11-15 (AUGUST 16-20)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A little more opening up of air flow from Canada may allow one or two pushes of cooler\/drier air, but still low confidence on this at this point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
