More Rain/Storms Ahead

The fetch of gulf moisture seems almost endless across our area. This will continue to fuel rain and storms throughout the state. Some storms may strong and even severe. We’re under a marginal risk (1 out of 5) for severe storms again Friday. Any storms that do develop will be capable of very heavy rainfall, gusty winds, and lightning. A…

Severe Storms Possible Thursday

We’re going to finish out the work week with an active weather pattern. A stationary boundary will sit over the area and a significant surge of gulf moisture flows into region. Numerous showers and storms will work across the area and some storms could reach severe levels Thursday afternoon. The Storm Prediction Center has our entire area under a marginal…

Showers/Storms Late Week

A frontal boundary sits across our southern most counties this evening. A refreshing surge of drier air has moved into behind the boundary. Dewpoints have dropped off and it doesn’t feel quite as humid. It’s August and you know this dry spell won’t last long. As matter of fact, moisture is returning and our rain chances are increasing Wednesday. We’ll…

Frontal Passage Ahead

A frontal boundary is making southward push through the state and will be mainly south of our area Tuesday. This will briefly put most of the area in a slightly drier air mass. The better chance for any rain/storms would shift to our southern most counties. Temps remain rather hot with highs easily in the lower to mid 90s. By…

Rain & Storms Friday

A very active weather pattern continues in place across our area. An abundant supply of moisture along with daytime heating is helping to trigger showers and storms each day. We don’t see any change to this Friday. There could even be rain/storms developing earlier in the day and that would help hold the heat down slightly. Upper 80s to lower…

Continued Hot & Humid With PM Storms

A moisture rich air mass hovers over our area. This will be the fuel for those daily rounds of showers & storms. When its not raining, you can expect hot and humid conditions. Temps will continue to manage lower to mid 90s through the week. Obviously, storms will knock the heat down in spots. You just have to be one…

Typical Hot & Humid August Conditions

The hot and humid days of summer are in full swing this week. Temps will manage low to mid 90s each day. You factor in the humidity and you got heat index values of 100 to 105. There’s plenty of moisture around and with the daytime heating we get scat’d showers and storms. Any storms that do develop will be…

A Weekend Sizzler

A stationary boundary will continue to hang over the area this weekend. South and east areas have the better chance of an isolated shower or storm while north of the boundary it stays mainly rainfree. Temp will remain rather hot with highs in the mid to upper 90s each day. It will take a cooling shower to knock the heat…

Heating Up!

Our weather pattern will be trending drier over the next few days. Yes, an isolated shower or storm can’t be ruled out but most spots stay rainfree. This will allow temps to soar into the mid to upper 90s for highs. We don’t see much change through the weekend. Early next week, moisture begins creeping back up and that leads…

The Heat Is Turning Up!

Another day and the same ole weather story. We start out mostly sunny and then warm into the 90s by the afternoon. Isolated showers and storms develop during the peak heating hours. It’s a familiar weather setup we see around this time of the year. There’s no reason to believe it will be changing significantly anytime soon. One thing you…
