Today's Forecast

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.

Today's Forecast

Wednesday: The temperature is currently 68º under clear skies. Expect some clouds, more specifically cumulus clouds,  to bubble up in the afternoon as our high temperature maxes out around 80º (80). I will go for a partly cloudy-mostly cloudy sky for the afternoon hours. It will be very similar to yesterday. Winds will be 5-10mph with an occasional gust to 15mph. As night falls, clouds will tend to burn off, but a few may still remain. Temps during the evening hours will fall into the upper 50s. (59 around midnight)

Week Ahead: Conditions will remain dry through Monday with 90s likely for the weekend. The weekend will also feature higher dew points and humidity making the air stickier.

Today's Forecast

Tuesday: Skies will remain sunny with a cloud here and there in the afternoon. A widely isolated shower is possible in the afternoon, but chance of precip. is 15%. Temps will top out in the mid to upper 70s (77). Winds will be from the N at 15-20mph with gusts as high as 25mph. As night falls, a couple will clouds will linger. Temps will be in the mid 60s for the evening hours.

The week ahead: Temps will gradually rise through the week, We will see the 80s by Thursday (possibly tomorrow) and the 90s will return by Sunday. The next best chance for rain is Tuesday. It looks like a line of storms will move through the area. It appears a severe threat may exist for Tuesday. I will keep an eye on it and see if the severe weather threat will hold up for next Tuesday.

Today's Forecast

Today: Clouds will gradually decrease through the afternoon. Rain showers will also continue until the cloud deck moves away. Temps will rise into the upper 70s to near 80 as clouds decrease (77). Winds will be 8-14mph with gusts as high as 21mph. As night falls, skies will be mostly clear with temps in the mid to upper 50s.

Thursday: Tomorrow will feature mostly sunny skies and warm temperatures. The day will start clear and temps in the upper 50s (58). Mostly sunny skies will dominate the day as the temp rapidly increases. The temperature will max out in the low 90s (91). Winds will be 17-24mph with gusts as high as  35mph.  A few low clouds may bleed in towards nightfall. Temps will be in the mid-low70s during the overnight hours.

We will see the 90s this weekend through Monday. We may see temps in the mid 90s this weekend with heat indices well over 100º. Also, a chance for thunderstorms exists Friday afternoon. A marginal chance for severe weather exists for Monday afternoon-evening. I will post more on the potential for severe weather in the coming days. The main threats appear to be large hail and strong winds.

Wednesday Forecast

A few showers and thunderstorms are possible during the evening hours. These storms will not be severe, but an isolated wind gust of 40-50mph can't be ruled out.

Wednesday: Wednesday will be very similar to today in the sense of how dry it will be. The day will start in the mid 50s under partly cloudy skies. These clouds will diminish in the afternoon to a mostly sunny sky. The temperature will warm rapidly in the afternoon into the upper 70s to near 80. Winds will be 13-18mph with an occasional gust near 25mph. As nigh falls, skies will become clear. This combined with desert-like air will cool the air quickly. Temps during the evening hours will fall into the low-mid 50s by midnight.

Mother's Day Forecast

Sunday: The day will start in the mid 50s. A mix of clouds and sun are likely for the day tomorrow. Temps will likely reach the mid 70s, but some models want the temp to near 80. Not really sure on this idea because of a cold front near our area. Temps in the mid-upper 70s will bubble up a few storms in the afternoon. These showers/ storms will be isolated. Winds will be 10-15mph with an occasional gust over 20mph. As night falls, these showers will diminish skies will gradually become partly cloudy. Temps during the evening hours will fall into the mid 50s.
