Synopsis:
The jet stream, the river of air that guides our weather systems, is coming out of the West and Northwest and not the Southwest or South. This will result in a hiatus from the high heat and humidity of late. Tolerable conditions are expected through the week under a mix of sun and clouds.
As it looks right now, there are two small threats of precipitation the next five days. A weak cool front will approach on Wednesday with scattered afternoon storms. Scattered afternoon showers are possible on Friday with upper level energy working through.
Finally, a well deserved break from the heat, humidity, torrential rains and storms. It’s been one crazy July so far.
Stay tuned.
Keep it here for a no nonsense, no hype forecast.
