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

Looks like more extreme heat ahead for Saturday. Temps will climb back into the upper 90s with heat index values ranging between 100 to 110. We still suggest you take it easy out there. 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…

If you didn’t check the calendar, you would think we skipped right into late July early August. It sure feels like it and there’s several more days of this 90 plus degree heat ahead. 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

A broken line of storms will continue to move westward through our area tonight. Some of the storms will be capable of damaging winds, very heavy rainfall, frequent lightning strikes and hail. 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…

An Early Season Heat Wave!

An early season heat wave is underway and it’s going to continue until further notice! Hot and humid conditions are likely each day but there will be some showers and storms around to knock the heat down at times. We expect this to be the case through at least Friday. The storms that do occur will be capable of heavy…

Dangerous Heat This Week!

We’re at the start of a heat wave and all indications are it’s sticking around for quite a while. High pressure over the deep south will maintain this hot and humid pattern. Temps will manage mid to upper 90s for highs but when you factor in the humidity it will feel more like 100 to 110 degrees. That’s dangerous heat…

More Rain/Storms Ahead

A frontal boundary has moved into the state. A little drier air has flowed into the area and that’s helping to keep most spots rain free. This setup will continue overnight into early Friday. We expect a disturbance to make its way into the area Friday afternoon. Another round of rain and storms are likely to work across the state…

An Active Weather Pattern Lingers Into The Weekend

We head into Thursday with another complex of rain/storms moving towards the area. Rain/storms will push eastward during the morning commute. We expect the rain activity to taper off as northwesterly winds move in behind the morning storms. The afternoon is looking partly sunny with temps still managing the lower 90s for highs. Another round of rain/storms moves into the…

Rain Chances Increase Late Week

A rather hot and humid air mass has established itself over us and it’s sticking around through late week. Temps will climb into the lower to mid 90s each afternoon. There will be some relief from the heat with those afternoon showers and storms. We actually see the potential for a parade of rain and storms working through here at…

The Heat Is On This Week!

The heat is on with temps easily climbing into the 90s for afternoon highs this week. The daytime heating will lead to isolated showers or storms. The rain activity will help knock the heat off in spots. Later in the week, a frontal boundary makes a run at the state. We expect this boundary to enhance the risk for showers…
