Dry & Milder Days Ahead

A frontal boundary has pushed through and stalled across the AL/FL line. Northerly winds are ushering in much drier air behind the front. This will help provide us mostly clear skies and milder conditions for a change. Morning temps will manage mid to upper 60s Friday and Saturday. Afternoon highs will still reach the upper 80s to lower 90s. We…

Sunny & Drier Days Ahead

Ida is now long gone and we’re setting up for a significant change in our weather. A frontal boundary slides through the state overnight.

Ida’s Impacts Lingering

Ida continues to move farther away but its impacts linger over us through Wednesday. The circulation around the tropical system is keeping clouds and occasional showers moving through the area.

Any storms that do move through here will be capable of heavy downpours, gusty winds, and frequent lightning strikes. In between the storms, we still…

Typical August Heat & Humidity

Nothing unusual about the weather pattern ahead for this week. Late August heat and humidity will be in play each day. We expect 90 plus degree heat to be the rule. Moisture will be on the increase as the week progresses and that will lead to daily rounds of afternoon showers and storms. The heat will come down where storms…

We’re in a weather pattern that supports hot and humid conditions along with rounds of rain and storms. Temps will continue to manage upper 80s to lower 90s through Saturday.
