Good morning!  Air conditioners will be working overtime for the next few days, especially through Saturday.  We’ll be in the lower 90’s by today and  middle 90’s by Friday and Saturday. Sunday will be cooler behind a cold front. Best chance of showers be in the northern half of the state today. For the rest of us – the rain chance is not zero but very small. Widely scattered storms at best. We have no tropical concerns in this part of the world this week, even though we are approaching the peak of the season. The EURO model shows the tropics coming alive mid-month. Here’s my brief video forecast discussion.

TODAY:  Sun/Cloud mx. Rain chance 20% or less. Light wind.  High 92.  Mostly clear tonight.  Low 71.   Best chance of showers today will be across the northern counties.

NEXT FEW DAYS:  It will continue to be dry and sunny Thursday and through the weekend.  Temperatures go back to the 90’s.  Expect mid 90’s by Friday and Saturday.  Sunday and Monday will be cooler.

Dewpoints will be higher.  It will be muggy through the first half of the day Sunday. 

Over the Weekend, a cool front will sweep through the state.  Expect temperature relief by Sunday/Monday.

Here’s the 10 Day Temperature Trend.  Expect mid 90’s by Friday and Saturday.  Sunday and Monday and beyond will be cooler.

TROPICAL OUTLOOK:    That Area to watch in the tropical Atlantic is a westward moving Tropical wave.  NHC gives this Area a 80% chance of development. A depression is likely by Friday or the Weekend.  It’s expected to turn into the open Atlantic.

Here’s the EURO Probability of Tropical Storm Development.

The EURO signals that the tropics will really come alive by the middle of the month.

FALL COUUNTDOWN:  The Autumnal Equinox is now just 20 days away.
