Happy Friday!

High pressure is here to stay for the next few days, and it’s going to give us a beautiful forecast!  It’s going to be a little bit breezy Friday with winds coming in from the north and west at 10-15 miles an hour.  Those winds will die down by Saturday.  Expect mostly sunny skies with a few passing clouds throughout the weekend.  Highs will be in the low-80s, and lows will drop into the upper-40s by Saturday morning.  Expect lows in the 50s for Sunday night.

Memorial Day will be mostly sunny to partly cloudy with highs in the mid-80s.  We’ll see upper-80s by Tuesday and Wednesday with a 20% chance of a sprinkle.  We’ll be near 90 by Thursday.

Here is your Extended Forecast:
Friday - Mostly Sunny, Breezy, High 84, Low 48

Thursday is here!

For those of you sick and tired of the humid and cloudy weather… I have good news for you.  We will have a much better forecast as we head into the Memorial Day holiday weekend.  We do have a cold front that will eventually pass over the area, and that was the same system that caused a lot of problems in the Central Plains.  This front is a lot weaker now, so it will only trigger a few showers and storms.  Expect a partly to mostly cloudy day with a 30% chance of a storm or shower on this Thursday.  We’ll have clearing skies as we progress through the daytime hours.  Mostly clear skies will be on tap overnight into Friday.

From Friday through Memorial Day, expect mostly sunny skies with lower humidity and cooler temperatures.  Highs will be in the lower-80s and lows will dip into the upper-40s by Saturday morning.  Our next chance of rain, which will be small, will appear on Tuesday and Wednesday with highs in the mid-80s.

Here is your 7 Day Forecast:
Thursday - Mostly Cloudy, 30% Chance of Rain, High 88, Low 65
Friday - Mostly Sunny, High 83, Low 48
Saturday - Mostly Sunny, High 81, Low 55
Sunday - Mostly Sunny to Partly Cloudy, High 83, Low 58
Monday - Mostly Sunny to Partly Cloudy, High 83, Low 62
Tuesday - Partly Cloudy, 20% Chance of Showers, High 86, Low 65
Wednesday - Partly Cloudy, 20% Chance of Showers, High 87

Have a terrific Thursday wherever you are!

Welcome to Monday!

It looks like we’re going to be stuck with clouds and some rain as we go through the workweek.  We have a trough that has been stuck over the Carolinas during the weekend.  This will continue to keep us with clouds and some afternoon showers and storms as the system interacts with the humid air over the area during the afternoon when the temperatures try to crank up.  Highs should reach the low to mid-80s.

The rain chances will stick with us during the workweek.  By the time the front that has caused so many headaches in the mid-West starts swinging through by Thursday, we’ll be dealing with plenty of rain for some time to come.  The front clears Friday, which will leave us with a pretty good looking forecast for the Memorial Day weekend!

Here is your 7 Day Forecast:
Monday - Mostly Cloudy, 40% Chance of Rain, High 83, Low 66
Tuesday - Partly Cloudy, 30% Chance of Rain, High 86, Low 66
Wednesday - Partly Cloudy, 20% Chance of Rain, High 85, Low 66
Thursday - Mostly Cloudy, 40% Chance of Rain, High 86, Low 65
Friday - Mostly Sunny, 20% Chance of Rain, High 88, Low 65
Saturday - Mostly Sunny, High 85, Low 62
Sunday - Mostly Sunny, High 84

Have a magnificent Monday wherever you are!

Welcome to the weekend!  It looks like we’re going to see a pretty cloudy day.  A system from the west along with a backdoor front from the north will approach the Carolinas, and that’s going to affect our forecast.  Our skies will be cloudier by the weekend with highs in the mid to upper-80s.  Our overnight lows will be mild in the mid-60s.  The best chance of rain will be on Sunday and Monday with a 40% chance for rain.  Our rain chances will be reduced to 20% with afternoon pop-up storms expected.  We’re going to be stuck in the typical summertime pattern leading to the afternoon isolated showers next week.

Here is your Extended Forecast:
Friday - Partly to Mostly Cloudy, High 88, Low 64
Saturday - Mostly Cloudy, 30% Chance of Rain, High 88, Low 65
Sunday - Mostly Cloudy, 40% Chance of Rain, High 85, Low 66
Monday - Mostly Cloudy, 40% Chance of Rain, High 86, Low 65

Welcome to Monday!

After a beautiful Mother’s Day forecast, we’re going to see a stretch of sunny days as we go through this workweek.  High pressure is located in the Gulf of Mexico down to the south, and that is dragging down colder air from the north because we’re located on the east side of the high pressure system, and since the flow of air is clockwise around the high, we’re going to see highs only in the mid-70s.  The big drop in temperatures comes tonight when lows crash into the lower-40s.  Make sure to bundle up just a bit.

Tuesday looks to be sunny as well with highs in the mid-70s again.  By Wednesday, the high located to our south will shift eastward, and that will place the high further east, allowing the warm air from the south to push in.  Expect highs to be in the mid to upper-80s starting on Wednesday, and that will last through the end of the seven-day forecast period.  We will see a little more cloud cover by Friday, and there will be a 20% chance of a sprinkle then.  Otherwise, expect a very nice day!

Here is your 7 Day Forecast:
Monday - Mostly Sunny, High 74, Low 43
Tuesday - Mostly Sunny, High 76, Low 54
Wednesday - Mostly Sunny, High 87, Low 63
Thursday - Mostly Sunny, High 89, Low 65
Friday - Partly Cloudy, 20% Risk of a Sprinkle, High 88, Low 64
Saturday - Partly Cloudy, 20% Risk of a Sprinkle, High 87, Low 65
Sunday - Partly Cloudy, 20% Risk of a Sprinkle, High 88

Welcome to the Mother’s Day weekend!

We’re going to see a beautiful start to the Mother’s Day weekend.  High pressure is bringing in a southerly flow, so temperatures will be reaching the upper-80s during the afternoon Friday.  That will change on Saturday when a cold front from the west pushes through Saturday.  I think the moisture will be decreasing within the system as it moves eastward, so that will allow mainly cloudy skies with scattered showers Saturday.  By Sunday, skies will begin to clear, but temperatures will start to cool off a bit as cold air from the north swings around the low, giving us highs in the 70s.  Sunny skies return by Monday with a beautiful week in store for us.

Here is your Extended Forecast:
Friday - Mostly Sunny to Partly Cloudy, High 88, Low 64
Saturday - Mostly Cloudy, 40% Chance of Showers, High 84, Low 62
Sunday - Partly Cloudy, 20% Chance of Showers, High 80, Low 51
Monday - Mostly Sunny, High 73, Low 46
Tuesday - Mostly Sunny, High 76, Low 53
Wednesday - Mostly Sunny, High 82, Low 60
Thursday - Mostly Sunny, High 84

Have a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend wherever you are!

Welcome to Wednesday!

We’re going to see some nice weather for the next few days.  Expect highs to be around 80 with sunny skies through Friday.  By Saturday, a system approaches us from the West Coast, and that will give us cloudy conditions for Saturday and Sunday with a chance of showers popping up during the afternoon hours.  Behind the system, we’ll see northerly winds, and that’s going to drop our highs down to the lower-70s by Monday and Tuesday, though the good news is that we’ll also see sunny skies return as well.

Here is your 7 Day Forecast:
Wednesday - Mostly Sunny to Partly Cloudy, 20% Chance of Showers, High 78, Low 58
Thursday - Mostly Sunny, High 84, Low 61
Friday - Mostly Sunny to Partly Cloudy, High 86, Low 60
Saturday - Mostly Cloudy, 30% Chance of Showers, High 82, Low 61
Sunday - Mostly Cloudy, 40% Chance of Showers, High 79, Low 57

Happy Tuesday to you!

We’re expecting to see plenty of clouds today as a low pressure system that seems to be stuck continues to spin its wheels as we go through Tuesday.  Expect a 30-40% chance of a sprinkle with highs in the mid to upper-60s.  Lows tonight will be in the lower-50s.  The sprinkle chance falls to 20% for Wednesday, followed by highs in the 80s for Thursday under mostly sunny skies.  We will remain dry for the rest of the work week, but by Saturday, a front that is currently drenching California and the Desert Southwest will arrive here, so we have a chance of seeing more sprinkles by the weekend.  It won’t be a very big rain maker, but it may pop in during the day.  Depending on how quickly the system moves, it may bring some sprinkles for Mother’s Day too.

Here is your 7 Day Forecast:
Tuesday - Mostly Cloudy, 30-40% Chance of Showers, High 67, Low 51
Wednesday - Partly Cloudy, 20% Chance of Showers, High 76, Low 56
Thursday - Mostly Sunny, High 82, Low 59
Friday - Mostly Sunny to Partly Cloudy, High 84, Low 62
Saturday - Mostly Cloudy, 30% Chance of Showers, High 80, Low 62
Sunday - Mostly Cloudy, 30% Chance of Showers, High 79, Low 57
Monday - Mostly Sunny, High 74

Welcome to Monday!

Thanks to a “dry slot” forming and pushing into the low pressure system, we’re going to see a little bit of sun for the morning hours.  The sun won’t last forever because we will see the clouds trying to pick up later on today.  Highs will be in the lower-70s as we go through the afternoon.  There is a 20% chance of a sprinkle as we go through the day.

Tuesday and Wednesday will be cloudy and a bit rainy again.  It won’t be nearly as wet as this weekend, but it will be dreary as the low pressure system slowly pushes north and east, and the system will clip us here in the Midlands.  Highs will be in the lower-70s Tuesday, but it will be warmer Wednesday with highs in the upper-70s.

By Thursday, high pressure should take over, and we will see AWESOME conditions.  Expect sunny skies with highs in the lower-80s for Thursday and Friday.  Some areas might benefit from highs in the mid-80s.  A developing cold front will move into the Midlands again for the weekend, but highs will still be in the lower-80s.

Here is your 7 Day Forecast:
Monday - Mostly Sunny to Partly Cloudy, 20% Chance of a Sprinkle, High 73, Low 55
Tuesday - Mostly Cloudy, 40% Chance of Showers, High 71, Low 55
Wednesday - Mostly Cloudy, 30% Chance of Showers, High 77, Low 56
Thursday - Mostly Sunny, High 81, Low 59
Friday - Mostly Sunny, High 83, Low 62
Saturday - Mostly Cloudy, 30% Chance of Showers, High 82, Low 61
Sunday - Mostly Cloudy, 30% Chance of Showers, High 81

Welcome to the weekend!

For an entire week, it has been cloudy and relatively cool for us.  We experienced a gentle breeze and saw sprinkles here and there.  It looks like the amount of rainfall will ratchet up during the weekend.  It looks to still be cloudy as we head into Saturday, but the threat for rain continues to increase.  Expect highs in the 70s for Friday, but by Saturday, expect highs to notch a little cooler into the upper-60s.  The Kenny Chesney concert *should* be okay, though I wouldn’t rule out a possible sprinkle.  If the cut-off low has to skirt around as slowly as it is developing, then Saturday should be okay.

By Sunday, the low pressure system that has drenched the mid-West should arrive here, so expect a wet Sunday and Monday with highs around 70.  Rainfall totals are expected to be between 1 and 2 inches by the end of the day Monday.

The good news is that by Tuesday, the rain should start tapering off, and by Wednesday, sunshine returns for the first time in more than a week, and highs will warm up to around 80 degrees.

Here’s your 7 Day Forecast:
Friday - Partly to Mostly Cloudy, 20% Chance of a Sprinkle, High 72, Low 55
Saturday - Mostly Cloudy, 30% Chance of Rain, High 69, Low 55
Sunday - Cloudy, 50% Chance of Rain, High 70, Low 56
Monday - Cloudy, 50% Chance of Rain, High 73, Low 52
Tuesday - Partly to Mostly Cloudy, 20% Chance of a Sprinkle, High 74, Low 54
Wednesday - Mostly Sunny, High 78, Low 56
Thursday - Partly Cloudy, high 80

Have a wonderful weekend wherever you are!
