Keep The Rain Gear Handy

This rather active weather pattern has plans to stick around here until further notice. Daily rounds of afternoon showers and t-storms are likely with this setup. Any storms will be capable of heavy downpours, frequent lightning strikes, and gusty winds. Temps will manage to climb into the upper 80s and lower 90s each afternoon. It’s an all to familiar summer-time…

Hot & Humid But There’s Some Relief Ahead

The hot and humid days of summer are in full force but fortunately our chances for cooling showers will be going up over the next several days. We expect more coverage of storm activity Saturday afternoon. Any storms developing will be capable of heavy downpours, gusty winds, hail, and frequent lightning strikes. This could impact some of your outdoors plans…

Rain Chances Increasing A Bit

Our summer heat wave continues but we do see this heat gradually backing down over the weekend and into next week. It will still be hot but high temps will likely hover in the lower to mid 90s.

High pressure over the deep south will lead to hot and mainly dry conditions through Friday. High temps will range between 100 to 104. This will put us in record…

Heat & Humidity Cranking Up Again!

The break from the high heat and humidity is over and this week will trend hotter than last week. Prepare for another round of upper 90s and lower 100 degree heat area wide. That’s just what the thermometer will show but it will feel more like 100 to 112 degrees. The extreme heat and humidity will begin climbing Tuesday and…

Trending Drier Over The Weekend

Some relief will come in the form of showers or storms. Rain chances will go down as a frontal boundary pushes southward through the area. Drier…

That’s what the thermometer shows but it will feel more like 105 to 110 for heat indices. It’s tough heat and you should take precautions to…

SEVERE T-STORM WATCH UNTIL 2AM THURSDAY

Power outages are certainly possible with a storm system like this. We expect the storms to work across the entire area but may begin to weaken a bit…
