Okay, you guys win! It’s going to be a “hot” day, today. Temperatures around 90F with this much humidity, I suppose, should be considered “hot” weather. Not much of a shot for rain today. That said, I didn’t think we would see much rain yesterday, and many folks ended up with a brief cooling rain shower around midday and into the afternoon.
So, maybe we will get lucky and see some brief rain again today.
The one thing that may help it feel slightly cooler is the breeze. It’ll be a south wind, so it’ll still be a warm and muggy breeze. But at least the air is moving!
We will play the same game again on Thursday – with a shot for some storms, too.
The Storm Prediction Center has highlighted a majority of the are with a Slight Risk for severe weather. The main concern looks to be heavy rain, lightning, wind gusts up to 65mph, and hail. The tornado threat looks to be pretty low.
And, looking things over this morning, we may get two rounds. One in the morning (the leftovers from stuff to the north tonight) and then another round in the afternoon and evening (storms blowing through from Texas and Louisiana).
The Storm Timeline below probably looks a it more ominous thant he weather will be. I think most folks will probably be more “dry” than “rain-soaked” during the next 48 hours, but we will hold on to a shot for a few isolated storms here and there for a good chunk of time during the next few days.
After all of this blow through, a high-pressure system will ensure quieter weather with temperatures below average for the weekend. By Monday, there may be another change, with a shot for rain increasing again due to a new low-pressure system developing in the Central Plains.
