Good morning! Once again today, Radar will be quite active today. Like yesterday, scattered to numerous, random PM showers and storms, will be around almost anytime, but particularly in the afternoon and evening hours. Storms will thin out a bit Thursday and especially Friday through Saturday. Highs upper 80’s today, and lower 90’s Thursday. Perhaps middle 90s Friday through Monday. Triple digit Heat Index will return over the weekend. Tropical Storm Erin is moving westward in the Tropical Atlantic. Erin could become a Hurricane by Thursday and maybe a Major Hurricane by this weekend. Erin is likely to turn and likely miss the United States. Here’s my brief video forecast discussion.
