Hazy hot & humid again today & tomorrow with highs in the low/mid 90s. Extra precautions should be taken today to ensure health and comfort. Be aware of the symptoms & treatement of heat-related illness...A weak frontal boundary accompanied by plenty of available moisture will dive out of the Great Lakes, into the Ohio River Valley today & tonight. Few showers & storms could develop in our area with this system. We'll keep a slight chance for showers & thunder Tuesday & Wednesday. Then dry with surface high pressure for Thursday & Friday. More humid with slight chance for possibility of precip for next weekend.
Bulk of the severe weather will unfold around the southern Great Lakes during the day today. But plenty of daytime heating & low level moisture will combine with the westerly flow to allow for restrenghtening storms in our vicinity & along the western Appalachians. Damaging winds, hail & heavy rain are also possible this afternoon into tonight. Flash flooding concerns are also not out of the question-especially along poor drainage areas. Temperatures will stay muggy, in the low 70s with some fog overnight.
Another weak cold front will cross the area Tuesday. Model guidance leaves room for improvement on the timing and track of that system. Either way, a few showers & storms will accompany the frontal passage. Still Tuesday's forecast does not allow for much relief from the oppressive heat & humidity. Dewpoints in the low 70s, high temperatures in the low/mid 90s will indeed make for another steamy & hot forecast.
Lingering showers Wednesday as leftover moisture gradually exits.Temperatures will return to a more seasonal feel with highs in the mid/upper 80s. Lows will get down into the low 60s.
Surface high pressure will make for a dry, generally sunny forecast Thursday & Friday. Daytime highs will be in the mid to upper 80s. Lows on the average will be in the low 60s. Dewpoints will bottom out in the 50s. But another wave of moisture will affect our area this weekend. So the forecast will turn humid again with slight chance of showers & storms Saturday, Sunday & into Monday. Hoping for partly cloudy skies & a brief shower if any.
