Signs The Heat Will Be Backing Down Soon!
An active weather pattern is settling over the deep south and that means daily rounds of afternoon showers and t-storms ahead. A frontal boundary drifting southward into the state will be the focal point for rain activity. Rain chances will be increasing and that’s going to help us beat the heat. The heat will back down late in the weekend into early next week. We’re expecting highs in the mid to upper 80s for a few days.
In the meantime, we could still see a few isolated showers or t-storms this evening. Some storms will be capable of brief heavy downpours, gusty winds, and frequent lightning strikes. We may see some of the rain activity linger to around midnight. Temps will only fall into the mid to upper 70s for lows.
There’s more scorching heat ahead for Friday. Temps will manage lower to mid 90s for highs. You factor in the humidity and it will feel more like 102 to 107. We encourage you to stay hydrated and limit time exposed to direct sunshine. Fortunately, we expect scattered showers or t-showers to develop during the afternoon. The rain activity should provide a little relief from the heat for some.
Our upcoming weekend is setting up for a few changes in our weather. We will have a frontal boundary lingering over the southern part of the state. Scattered showers and t-storms are likely both days. Looks like lower 90s for highs Saturday but mid to upper 80s for Sunday.
