While it is still likely to rain this weekend, totals don’t look as impressive as they once did. Models could very well trend the other way, but so far, it’s been in the drier (but not totally dry) direction.
Rain Returns Friday, But How Much?
Dry Stretch of Weather Ends This Weekend
We are close to some rain, but not quite there yet.
Dry weather will continue thru Thursday, combined with temperatures 10°+ above average for this time of year. A fitting way to end our month, which could go down as the hottest and driest September on record.
Meaningful Rainfall on the Horizon?
The next 7 or so days will be a tale of two different stories. The first half will be something we have grown accustomed to over the past month-ish. The back half will be something we are not used to – recently at least.
Fall Weather In Store This Weekend
Really nice Fall weather is in store for us this weekend.
High temperatures will be around 80° each day thru Sunday, but much lower dewpoints will begin to filter in starting today, which will make the air feel crisp. By “much lower” I mean dewpoints in the 40s, which I honestly cannot tell you the last time the dewpoint was that low. You’ll be able to feel the difference between the air this morning and tonight, and especially Saturday morning.
Fantastic Weekend Weather Ahead
I do not remember the last time our weekend weather looked this nice. Football weather is finally here.
High temperatures will generally be around 80° (probably less today with this thick cloud cover hanging around), waking up in the upper 50s(!!!). Drier air will also seep into the area starting Friday, with dewpoints getting down into the low 50s, maybe even the 40s – which will feel incredibly refreshing.
Much More Reasonable Temps, Dry Into This Weekend
Mid 60s with some mist feels absolutely fantastic after the stretch of incredibly hot weather we’ve had.
For the most part, temperatures will technically be above average this week, but honestly, I’ll take it. Perhaps even creeping back near 90° by the beginning of next week, but it’s not the upper 90s. Glass half full.
Staying Dry But At Least Cooler
Some of those W of 65 saw some rain today, but most E of 65 maybe saw a drizzle.
Unfortunate, because we could use the rain. But it kept the temperatures a whole lot cooler than what we’ve been dealing with for the entire month.
Low Chance of a Strong Storm This Afternoon/Evening, Cooler Air Arrives Tuesday
Today is the last day we have to deal with the “stupid hot” temperatures for the forseeable future.
Highs again will reach into the upper 90s.
The great news is that after today temperatures finally relax.
Super El Niño? What Does That Mean For Us?
There has been lots of talk recently about our ongoing El Niño, even named the “Super” El Niño. But what does that even mean? I’m sure you’ve seen all sorts of predictions about what this may spell for this upcoming winter – I’ve heard it all from a ton of snow to tornado outbreaks. Here, we’ll just talk facts.
Light At The End Of The Tunnel
I do finally have good news, but I’ll get thru the bad first.
Our Heat Advisory now goes thru Sunday at 7p.
Actual air temperatures (in the shade) will continue to be near 100°, with humidity sending heat index values near 105°.
