Synopsis:
The last day of the heatwave (and June), today will be oppressive. The combination of readings in the high 90s and high humidity will result in a heat index, the way it actually feels, between 98º-107º. Record highs once again maybe in jeopardy today.
The Bermuda High responsible for the heat will be moving farther off the coast making today the last day of the heat. Please listen to your body as heat of this magnitude is taxing to our body. If you feel weak or disorientated take a break. Drink plenty of fluids and get into a cooler environment. Coastal communities will be better off with cooler readings with the ocean influence.
An isolated storm is possible later in the day today as the atmosphere becomes unstable. Scattered showers and storms are possible tonight .
A cool front will approach on Thursday will relief from the high heat. Cooling scattered thunderstorms will be moving through (mainly in the afternoon).
By Friday, the front will be over the region with scattered showers. It’ll be refreshing with readings several degrees below the average high of the lower to mid 80s.
Feel good temperatures will be with us for the 4 of July weekend. You won’t have to run to the AC. A few scattered showers can’t be ruled out with upper level energy swinging through. A mix of sun and clouds is expected.
Stay tuned.
Keep it here for a no nonsense, no hype forecast.
