Good morning!

Thought I'd make a quick update this morning, as today will be the warmest day of the week.

The saving grace is that our dew points are so low, the heat index won't be too bad despite the high temperatures. We're seeing precipitable water values that you might see on a really cold day during the winter, so very dry air is in place. Dew point depressions will be running 35-40 degrees today, and that is a very large spread.

Some folks may start to see a few showers late this afternoon/evening, as a shortwave approaches from the northwest. Rainfall amounts are tiny, so unless you happen to get one of those storms directly over you, don't expect any relief from the dryness. This simulated radar loop is from the NAM and goes through Friday.

The dry weather will start to fade as moisture starts to increase tonight, and as we head into the weekend we'll start to see the more "normal" summertime afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms, and our rain chances will slowly increase to 30-50% each day. With the increased moisture and cloud cover, the high temperatures will be kept in check, but the heat index will still remain high, with most areas seeing a heat index close to 100 degrees. In other words, you'll be able to cut the air with a knife. 🙂

For those of you that read this, thank you very much. I know people don't like clicking on links, they'd rather read it on Facebook, but often Facebook isn't adequate for sharing images and gif's together.

I'm going to try to make more here instead of Facebook. And yes, Facebook does suck. 🙂
