Dry & Milder Conditions Ahead

Tonight’s full moon will be a supermoon.  It will appear brighter and seem larger as it rises in the eastern sky around 7:49 PM.  The supermoon reaches peak illumination around 8:36 PM.  Clouds and rain activity will be around but we still think there will be a window of opportunity to view this really neat event. Looks like our active…

It’s looking more like mid 90s for Friday and Saturday. High pressure may help to keep rain activity on these days down just a bit. The high will…

Trending A Little Drier Going Into The Weekend

High pressure continues to be the main upper level weather feature over the deep south. Closer to the surface, an almost steady stream of moisture from the gulf is helping to fuel those afternoon showers and storms. They’re triggered by the daytime heating and some of the storms can be strong at times. The main threats will be heavy downpours,…
