The moisture levels will gradually rise as moisture movies in slowly from the south. Rain chances will continue to be below normal for this time of year. Lack of cloud cover has lead to increasingly warm days and that trend will continue once again today. A sea breeze collision may fire up a couple of storms, but honestly I expect even that activity to stay to our south for another day. Rain chances will increase for the weekend, but even still will be slightly lower than what I’d expect for this time of year.
Temperatures … they aren’t going down any time soon. High temperatures will max out in the mid 90s but you’ve heard the routine factor in those humidity levels and we are talking about heat indexes in the triple digits each and every day. Personally I sometimes think those late afternoon thunderstorms aren’t always a bad thing – they clear out the parks and the clouds keep down afternoon max highs … oh well … stay hydrated!
All tropical weather in the form of Bret and newly named Cindy is hauling away from land and won’t pose any problems to the US. This is actually the time of year I start shifting my eyes to the coast of Africa and there is a wave off there that may be getting ready to make the long trek over here … but it’s far too early to tell if that will happen. Just something to keep an eye on.
