Better Shower Chances Wednesday & Thursday

I hope you are staying cool on this Tuesday! Temperatures as of 11:15 this morning are already in the low to mid 80's. The cloud cover to the north and west is associated with a slow moving front. Moisture will begin streaming in tomorrow along this front, allowing for better shower chances Wednesday and Thursday.

As for today, shower activity will remain limited. The bulk of activity will stay in the higher elevations. The main focus remains on the very warm temperatures. Afternoon heat indices today will top out, again, in the triple digits. High's alone will be in the mid to upper 90's. We will see a slight break in temps the next couple of days, but don't get too excited, we'll still be in the lower 90's.

As seen from model guidance, the NAM continues to suggest better shower chances Wednesday and Thursday. As the front moves eastward, moisture from the Gulf will funnel through the area providing scattered showers and storms. By Friday, a high pressure system will arrive, clearing things out (for the most part) for the weekend. A Marginal risk is in place again today and for Wednesday, so be weary of strong storms producing gusty winds, hail, and frequent lightning. 

Thank you for viewing our content today and everyday! Stay cool as feel-like temps will find their way back into the triple digits this afternoon.
