Hottest Day So Far This Year Ahead!
Our early round of summer-like heat will be in full force Wednesday! We expect temps to climb into the lower 90s areawide. That’s well above the average highs of low 80s for this time of year. Fortunately, the heat will back down as a cold front moves through the area Thursday into Friday. A cool down will accompany the frontal passage and you will notice the change this weekend.
In the meantime, we’re expecting the temps to soar into the lower 90s Wednesday afternoon. Some heat relief may come in the form of showers or t-storms but not all of us see them. They will be mainly isolated and during the afternoon heating and possibly linger into the evening hours.
A late season cold front will make a run at the state Thursday. Rain and storms are likely and we can’t rule out a few strong to possibly severe storms. The main threats will be damaging wind gusts and hail. The front moves through and drier air spills into the area behind the front late Friday. This should be dry/cooler air and a welcome break from the summer-like heat from early in the week. Afternoon temps will drop back into the upper 70s to around 80 degrees for highs. All indications are we get nice and mild weather conditions for our the entire Mom’s Day weekend.
