Weekend Vacation Spot/Trip Forecast – 7/9/26



Regional Outlook

Hey everyone! Happy Thursday! This weekend is not looking totally dry, so you will certainly have to watch the radar if you have any outdoor plans. The closer you are to the Gulf Coast, the more of a chance you will have for rain, especially during the afternoon hours when the heat energy is maximized. Temperatures will range from the upper 80s to the mid-90s depending on location, and humidity be elevated as well, making it feel close to 100-105 each day this weekend.

Friday and Saturday look similar in terms of rain chances, with afternoon thunderstorms being the main culprit of any wet weather and scattered in nature. By Sunday, we will have a front push down South into the Deep South, which will increase the rain chance for most of the day, but definitely getting more and more coverage by Sunday night. I would use Friday or Saturday as your days for plans, and just watch out for popup storms!
