The Heat Is On For The Holiday Period

The unofficial start to summer is approaching and we’re already feeling the heat build across the region.    A mainly sunny sky will lead to temps climbing and we should see several days with 90 degree heat this week.  Moisture will be increasing and the chance for scattered showers will return going into the longer holiday weekend.

In the meantime, high pressure will be over the deep south and this will help keep mainly dry.  Our late May sunshine will be sending temps into the upper 80s to lower 90s for highs.  Rain chances are slim to none through Thursday but that will change going into the weekend.  A boundary will slip into the region and we could see isolated showers or storms Friday afternoon. Isolated showers or t-storms will be possible over the weekend into early next week. Temps will continue to hover around 90 degrees for highs and upper 60s to lower 70s for overnight lows.

Looks like a disturbance will be approaching the region early next week.  This will lead to increased coverage of showers and storms on Memorial Day.  Clouds and rain activity would also impact temps and that could help knock the heat down a bit.  A frontal system will push through and we will get a break in the heat behind the boundary. We expect temps to drop in the mid 80s for highs and overnight lows fall into the lower 60s most of next week.
