Today: It is another dry hot day. It is currently 83. The high for today was 89. Dewpoints are currently in the low to mid 40s and humidity is in the mid 20%. This in turn allows for an elevated fire danger for this afternoon. Winds will remain light at 5-10mph. A high pressure center is responsible for the mostly clear sky and light winds. The high pressure center is located in Southern Indiana. Thanks to the desert-like air mass, temps will fall rapidly this evening. We will see mid 70s by 8 and mid 60s by mid night. It will remain clear for the evening hours.
Week ahead (June 9-16): Temps will be in the 90s for tomorrow, Sunday, and possibly Monday. Late Sunday-Early Tuesday show rain and thunderstorms. Storms will start up Sunday evening, these storms look pulsey in nature, which means they will peak in intensity very quickly and fade away just as fast. The main line of storms will move through Monday evening. There appears to be enough moderate wind shear and moderate CAPE or instability for isolated severe storms to develop. I will keep an eye on what new data says in the coming days. After that, it will be dry through June 20. Temps will be cooler neat week with temps ranging from the mid-upper 70s to the mid 80s.
Tropical Update: I'm not an expert at tropical weather, but I will give it a whirl. There appears to be a tropical storm that will impact the East coast June 19-21. The models keep it just off the coast, but it has the potential to make landfall in the North Carolina area. Winds with this storm are projected to be 40-55mph. It is possible however that this storm may be a hurricane. We will have to wait and see.
